In early January 2025, Linda WONG, Deputy Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) and Editor-in-Chief of "OceanWetlands", was interviewed by two graduate students, sharing her views on topics such as “going global”, global environmental governance, and youth talent development. Linda shared her views on Chinese social organizations  “going global” , global environmental governance, training of young talents, etc., and answered one by one with practical cases. Finally, she was invited to provide some suggestions: to innovate the form of  “going global” , to pay attention to the frontiers, to provide a platform for the domestic scientific and technological workers, and to promote the building of a community of human destiny by taking an active role. During the interview, one of  them  mentioned that he had read an article “ 30 Questions on Social Organizations  'Going Global'  ” written by  CBCGDF re...

The 14th Philanthropy Festival was held in Beijing from January 9 to 10, 2025. The " Plant a Million Corals " project of the Coral Conservation Area of ​​the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) won the 2024 Annual Public Welfare Project Award.   In recent years, the CBCGDF Coral Conservation Area in Sanya, Hainan Province and the Hainan South China Sea Tropical Ocean Research Institute have established a coral reef ecological restoration demonstration area through large-scale reproduction and reef-building activities on the declining coral reefs in the South China Sea.   Since the implementation of the " Plant a Million Corals " project, through the large-scale reproduction and transplantation of corals, nearly 800,000 corals have been cultivated in ten years, and these corals have multiplied to more than 2 million through self-reproduction, forming a magnificent coral reef ecosystem.   After years of practice, the...

The 14th Public Welfare Festival was held in Beijing from January 9 to 10, 2025. After nomination and recommendation and deliberation by the jury, the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) won the 2024 Public Welfare Communication Award. For a long time, CBCGDF has always adhered to the original intention of public welfare, gathered charitable forces, played a leading role in the industry, and closely combined public welfare with biodiversity conservation, the realization of the "dual carbon" goals, and the construction of ecological civilization. With practical actions, it has created one typical case of public welfare after another and composed one song after another of praise for strugglers. On the international stage, it continues to make Chinese voices and share Chinese experiences. As a public welfare organization and also a popular science communication platform, CBCGDF has always been committed to promoting the mainstreaming of biod...

At present, the National People's Congress website is soliciting public opinions on the "Fisheries Law of the People's Republic of China (Draft Amendment)". The Legal Working Committee of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) attaches great importance to this and has issued an initiative to volunteers who are enthusiastic about the protection and development of national fishery resources through the CBCGDF media platform. It is hoped that everyone will combine the difficulties and problems encountered in daily work to put forward relevant opinions and suggestions on the "Fisheries Law (Draft Amendment)" and jointly promote the protection and rational use of national fishery resources. The following are 12 suggestions sent by an enthusiastic volunteer. From the content, it can be seen that this volunteer has conducted a relatively in-depth investigation and research on issues such as cross-regional fishing, fishery law ...

  On the afternoon of January 7, comrades from the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) and heads of relevant departments gathered together to have an in-depth and heated discussion on the project content of the construction of the Miyun Apis cerana cerana Fabricius Ecological Technology Industry Demonstration Park, and jointly discussed the preparations for the project.   During the seminar, the two sides conducted detailed discussions on key aspects of the demonstration park, such as planning and layout, ecological environment protection, Chinese bee breeding technology innovation, and industrial integration development. With their professional knowledge and rich experience in the ecological field, the comrades of the China Green Development Foundation shared many advanced concepts and practical cases with relevant departments, providing valuable guidance and suggestions for the construction of the demonstration park.   Relevant depa...

  With Asian countries such as South Korea and Vietnam gradually phasing out bear farming, and the widespread use of bear bile substitutes such as ursodeoxycholic acid internationally, the bear farming industry is bound to disappear from the historical stage.   Take South Korea as an example. More than a decade ago (2014), the South Korean government reached an agreement with the Korean Bear Farming Association and formulated a plan for bear farms to voluntarily withdraw from the bear bile farming industry. As an important part of the plan, in order to prevent more black bears from entering the bear bile industry, bear farms are encouraged to sterilize their black bears.   Vietnam has also taken great steps to ban the bear farming industry. After nearly 20 years of continuous efforts, the number of captive black bears in farms has dropped by 96%, from about 4,300 in 2005 to 190 in September 2024. At present, 46 of Vietnam's 63 provinces and cities do not have captive blac...

The burgeoning low-altitude drone economy has shown great potential in various sectors, from delivery services to aerial photography. However, it also brings notable energy consumption issues. Most drones are powered by batteries, typically lithium-ion ones. These batteries need frequent recharging, which consumes electricity. For instance, in a busy urban delivery scenario, a large number of small drones operating throughout the day can collectively consume a significant amount of energy. Moreover, the manufacturing process of drone batteries also demands energy, from the extraction of raw materials to their assembly.   In addition, as the drone economy expands, the increased use of larger, more powerful drones for tasks like heavy payload transportation will further escalate energy demands. To mitigate this, research is needed to develop more energy-efficient drone designs, such as optimizing aerodynamics to reduce power consumption during flight. There is also a need for advance...
