578 | Fri, 17/11/2023 | Qihan-Huang | Motivated by IPBES Global Assessment, Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) Signs the Petition for Global Deal for Nature | English (396) | In response to the release of the IPBES 2019 Global Assessment Report, Dr. Zhou Jinfeng, the Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), has signed the Petition for Global Deal for Nature (GDN) which is calling on the world leaders to protect half of our lands and seas. The Report by IPBES discloses the worrying current situation of our nature: species extinction, wildlife decline, habitat loss, and exhausted ecological resources. According to the petition, "these systems are being thrown dangerously off balance by an onslaught of human activities. From pesticides on our fields to plastics choking our oceans to bulldozers in our forests, all over the planet, the natural world is under assault." Dr. Zhou Jinfeng said, “we must change our lifestyle and production mode in a radical way. We should abandon the values of changing and conquering the nature obtained in the industrial civilization and develop new values of respecting and conserving nature. It is essential to protect earth resources, biodiversity, and natural habitats, and take actions to maintain the balance of the ecosystem, thus achieving sustainable development and creating a community of shared future for mankind. This is the inexorable trend of civilization development." |

583 | Mon, 27/11/2023 | Qihan-Huang | CBCGDF: A Preliminary Report on African Rhino Status in China | Chinese (395) | On March 1, 2022, in response to the request from the African Rhino Specialist Group (AfRSG), the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) submitted a scientific report titled "A Preliminary Report on African Rhino Status in China". CBCGDF conducted an investigation on the current status and distribution of African rhinos within China through literature review, data analysis, field surveys, observations, investigations, interviews, and data mining. According to CBCGDF’s findings, as of February 2022, there are a total of 322 African rhinos in 46 institutions, distributed across 25 large and medium-sized zoos in 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China. Out of these, 308 are Southern white rhinos, distributed among 46 institutions. Additionally, 14 Black rhinos are kept in captivity in one of the 46 institutions. This is a preliminary report on the research findings. CBCGDF believes that as the study continues, the number of captive institutions and African rhinos in China may increase. |

595 | Mon, 27/11/2023 | Fernando Neda | Directly Citing IPBES Report on Invasive Alien Species, Australian Commits $2.2m to Reduce Threat of Buffel Grass | English (396) | "The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has recognised buffel grass’s potential to completely take over arid ecosystems, forcing out native plant and animal species," said the South Australian government as it announced that the state's Landscape Priorities Fund and the Alinytjara Wilurara Landscape Board (AWLB) will jointly contribute more than $2.2M to a multi-agency buffel grass program. "The IPBES’s Assessment Report on Invasive Alien Species and their Control has been welcomed by the South Australian Government and the Alinytjara Wilurara Landscape Board (AWLB), which has led the fight against buffel grass in remote parts of the state for more than a decade," read the press release issued by the entities. The organizations stated that "buffel grass is a threat to remote Indigenous communities in Australia because it causes heightened fire risk, damage to cultural sites, and a reduction in the ability to pass on cultural knowledge to the next generation," and that "left unmanaged, the weed poses a threat to grazing and cropping systems because it spreads quickly in hotter, stormier weather." Dr. Ellen Ryan-Colton, South Australian contributor to IPBES report, said "IPBES is at the forefront of including Indigenous knowledge in their reporting and recognising the effects on human communities." Likewise, Alinytjara Wilurara Landscape Board Chair Mick Haynes said, "the IPBES report is encouraging, especially the mention of the impact such invasive species have on the wellbeing and quality of life of human populations." |
