Placing Infrared Cameras and Investigating Birds to Conduct the Second Biodiversity Survey of Qingshui Town, in Mentougou District, Beijing｜CBCGDF Research Department

In January 2025, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the biodiversity status of Shangqingshui Village, Xiaqingshui Village, Damo Village and other areas in Qingshui Town, Mentougou District, Beijing, the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) Research Department and related project teams went to the area to conduct a comprehensive biodiversity survey. The survey aims to grasp the distribution of wild animal and plant resources in the relevant areas of Qingshui Town through scientific methods, and to evaluate the status of biodiversity conservation in the area in the future.

The survey method mainly uses infrared cameras and sample line methods, supplemented by sample point methods, visit surveys, etc. Infrared camera monitoring is an important means to understand the current status, dynamic changes and threats of wildlife diversity. It has the advantages of high sensitivity and no interference or damage to wild animals. The sample line method is a commonly used plant survey method. According to the topography and vegetation types of Qingshui Town, the researchers set up multiple sample lines, surveyed plant species along the sample lines, and recorded information such as the distribution, quantity, and growth status of plants.

After the survey, the project team will complete the biodiversity survey and assessment report based on the collected data, and analyze the current status of biodiversity protection in the relevant areas of Qingshui Town in combination with the 14th Five-Year Development Plan of Qingshui Town in Mentougou District, and put forward targeted suggestions for the development of the region. 


CBCGDF will continue to uphold the concept of green development, actively fulfill its social responsibilities, and promote regional biodiversity conservation. In the future, it will further strengthen cooperation with local governments, scientific research institutions, communities and the public to jointly build a long-term mechanism for biodiversity protection and contribute to the construction of ecological civilization.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
