Foreign wildlife officials and conservation experts praised China’s progress in biodiversity conservation and implementation of international treaties after attending a seminar on endangered species management in China
“China has set an example as a responsible major country in the implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES),” said Chemere Ejeta, a participant from Ethiopia
The two-week program, organized by the National Academy of Forestry and Grassland Administration in June, brought together 38 officials and experts from eight countries — Egypt, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Malaysia, Nepal, <a href="https://absafricatv.com/anti-migrant-protests-take-place-in-south-africa-cnn/" title="Anti-migrant protests take place in South Africa | CNN”>South Africa and Thailand. The seminar focused on China’s approaches to endangered species management, wildlife conservation and implementation of CITES
Eugene Olung’ati from Kenya said China’s integrated monitoring system offers valuable lessons for wildlife conservation efforts in his home country
As part of the program, the delegation visited Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai in Guangdong province for field research. The itinerary included a range of protected areas, including botanical gardens, nature reserves and wetland parks
One of the highlights was a visit to the Guangdong Pearl River Estuary Chinese White Dolphin National Nature Reserve. The reserve, China’s largest habitat for the species, supports a population of about 1,100 Chinese white dolphins and gave participants a firsthand look at marine mammal conservation and habitat management
“China has built a comprehensive ex-situ conservation system, covering the entire process from species introduction to reintroduction,” said Nurul Brahim from Malaysia, adding that the experience holds important reference value for Malaysia, which is rich in tropical biodiversity
“We leave here not just with advanced management strategies, but with a renewed sense of shared purpose,” said Mohamed Hamad from Egypt
“The challenges we face at our borders transcend geographic boundaries. By enhancing our import and export controls, we are taking a monumental step toward global wildlife conservation,” he said
