On the afternoon of April 17, Dr. Zhou Jinfeng, Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), led the CBCGDF Huaihe River Source Project Team to begin a biodiversity investigation in the CBCGDF Apis cerana Community Conservation Area (CCAfa) in Tongbai County, Henan Province.
