In response to the initiative “Be Part of the Plan” for the 2024 International Day for Biological Diversity issued by the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) launched the “Peoples Participation Movements (PPM)” to respond CBD’s call and to support the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).
On March 29, 2024, the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) hosted the first symposium on “Promoting the National Strategic Action Plan for Biodiversity Conservation ” in Beijing. A total of 32 speakers, including 92 participants from government departments, enterprises, NGOs, academia, indigenous peoples and local communities, and youth representatives, attended the event, with over a hundred people actively responding and signing the Peoples Participation Movements initiative.
Prof. WANG Dacheng, deputy secretary of the National Remote Sensing Engineering Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, participated in the meeting and shared a speech on how to use satellite remote sensing technology to accurately obtain habitat and living environment monitoring data of wild camels and other species to promote biodiversity conservation.
The number of wild camels is extremely small, and they are scattered over 200,000 square kilometers of barren land. Combining satellite remote sensing data can accurately determine their habitat, based on which wild camel reserves have been established, such as China Wild Camel National Park and Cross-border Wild Camel Reserve. We hope to extend this monitoring method to protect other species, such as snow leopards.
In addition, the research team is also conducting relevant research and exploration on the biodiversity protection of golden monkeys and their habitats.
The of Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the largest national team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in satellite remote sensing manufacturing and satellite remote sensing applications. I hope everyone can learn more about some detailed applications of satellite remote sensing technology in protecting biodiversity and the ecological environment.
