BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) — A China-Russia conference on the protection and research of biodiversity in transboundary wetlands of the Heilongjiang (Amur) River basin was held in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province recently, where experts from the two countries discussed a range of issues related to the protection of ecosystems and sustainable development of international wetlands, the Zhongxinshe News Agency reported.
The event was held at the Honghe Nature Reserve, which covers an area of over 21,000 hectares. In 2022, it was listed as a “wetland of international importance” by the Ramsar Convention. It protects unique ecosystems and rare and endangered species of wildlife, such as the Oriental stork and the Japanese crane.
During the event, experts presented reports on the protected natural reserves of the two countries. In addition, they familiarized themselves with the work of the wetland monitoring platform and visited the ecological museum located on the territory of the Honghe Nature Reserve.
Zhu Baoguang, a representative of the Honghe Nature Reserve, noted that the event became a platform for combining the experience of Chinese and Russian experts in order to promote sustainable development focused on the protection and study of the biodiversity of wetland ecosystems.
The conference aims to strengthen cooperation between China and Russia in the field of wetland biodiversity protection and further enhance joint protection of endangered birds in the Heilongjiang River Basin and along the East Asia-Australia flyway.
It also aims to promote the sustainable development of global wetland biodiversity and the transboundary cooperative conservation of rare and endangered bird species. -0-
