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
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."
