Dr. Jinfeng ZHOU kept on advocating his theory of "Macroconservation" which emphasizes conservation on large spatial/time scales in recent years.  Take the conservation of Takins, for example, Dr. Jinfeng Zhou was disappointed that individual protected areas usually think from their own perspectives; yet conservation usually needs a "think big" and should be considered via larger scales, both in time and space, for greater chances of species survival in the long term.

Another example is the Milu deer (Père David's deer). It was native to China but was extinct in the late 1800s. Then French missionaries brought them to Europe where the species was saved; 100 years later, the English Duke of Bedford kindly sent them back to China in 1985 (that's why CBCGDF was founded), now the species turned out to be an extraordinarily successful re-introduction case in the world. With 5000-6000 milu deer's population, the species naturally back to wild. (Some milu deers in protected areas managed to escape to wildness due to 1998 Yangtze River Flood. Now they bred 5 generations in the wild and are kept on expanding).

The CBCGDF general secretary believes "Macroconservation" should be considered when it comes to conservation. When a species reaches a stable population, its habitats should be expanded which brings more genetic varieties in new environments with a more diverse condition of geology, climate, food sources, and etc. In a word, Macroconservation advances species security in the long term.
