报告简介

Although biodiversity conservation and development are often regarded as having a trade-off relationship, there are regions where they have co-benefits, where conservation through expanding protection and reducing deforestation can not only benefit biodiversity but also reduce climate change's impacts on human society, including health risks. This is the key to implementing a post-2020 global biodiversity framework and mainstreaming biodiversity conservation. China is one of the most biodiverse countries and faces great challenges in balancing biodiversity conservation and development. Dr. Li will use several studies to analyze the trade-offs and synergy between biodiversity conservation and other goals. She applies an interdisciplinary approach to understand the dynamic and promote better conservation planning and sustainable livelihood around protected areas.
