Hey eco-enthusiasts! 🌿 This month, UNESCO's assistant director-general for natural sciences, Lidia Brito, sat down to watch the trailer for CGTN's latest docuseries Land of Diversity 2. Her reaction? She called it "very nice"! 😍
The film zeroes in on the Chinese mainland's dynamic conservation approach—constantly adjusting the balance between protecting biodiversity and enabling sustainable development. Brito highlights that this isn't a one-time fix but an ongoing journey requiring close monitoring.
Here's how Land of Diversity 2 breaks it down:
- Core protection zones: Strict reserves where the most vulnerable species get top priority.
- Buffer zones: Surrounding areas where researchers and locals team up to track how people and nature interact.
- Green tech: From solar farms to zero-carbon innovations powering eco-friendly projects.
- Community-driven: Local authorities, scientists, and businesses all share responsibility in the biosphere.
Brito says the magic trick is when everyone sees themselves as part of the environment 🌏. That mindset shift turns conservation into a truly sustainable practice—something we can all learn from, whether you're in a Himalayan valley or by the Mekong Delta.
For young changemakers across South and Southeast Asia, this is a reminder: conservation and development can go hand in hand if we keep the science—and the conversation—alive. Let's make sustainability our everyday vibe! ✨
