Recently, the International Department of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) received a letter from Zhang Xinsheng, President of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), explaining that the Preparatory Committee of the Congress (CPC) has put in place an enhanced process. The current working title for this statement is the "Marseille Outcomes".

The purpose of the Marseille Outcomes is to capture a limited number of key messages that are globally and currently relevant and which relate to the Congress proceedings along with any notable and important commitments and announcements that may emerge from Congress events.

The CBCGDF's response is as follows:

Dear President Zhang,

Thanks for your email!

We have read the Marseille Outcomes, which outlines a promising approach to secure a brighter future for all life on earth.

On behalf of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), a member of IUCN, here are our suggestions on Marseille Outcomes.

We suggest writing Biodiversity Conservation in Our Neighborhood (BCON) and Human-based Solution (HbS) into Marseille Outcomes to promote positive local interactions with biodiversity.

BCON and HbS stress people's participation, and by making people appreciate biodiversity, they can be part of the solution.

1. Human-based Solution (HbS) means that each of us can participate in resolving the current crisis, and the efforts of each of us can constitute a crucial component of these challenges.

People are the root of all problems. Human consumption and unsustainable use are the main drivers of biodiversity loss. Therefore, real environmental solutions should follow the "people-oriented" and human-based thinking, which is the foundation of protecting nature and sustainable development.

2. Biodiversity Conservation in Our Neighborhood (BCON) aims to promote effective conservation of biodiversity in areas where human activities are intensive, balance conservation and development, and synergize sustainable livelihoods and biodiversity conservation.

Conservation of biodiversity requires innovative thinking. Due to the expansion of the human living area, it is important to carry out biodiversity conservation in populated areas effectively.

Furthermore, by engaging people with biodiversity, we can empower them to act and educate them on how and thus better navigate a more sustainable future together.

Thanks for your email again.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.
