The 2021 Conference on Apes, Biodiversity and Climate

This meeting was organized by the International Cooperation Department of CBCGDF and Ape Alliance, and focused on the theme “Ape, Biodiversity, and Climate”. This gathering invited a number of international scholars to give a splendid discussion on how to build a bridge between the biodiversity decrease and climate change, and how to distinguish their mutual influences. Also, this conference paid more attention to the ape, as a key species helping human mitigate climate change and deserving a special evaluation in its ecosystem services. This way, the whole society would become more empathetic towards the ape. This meeting attracted over 46K people around the whole world.

Last but not least, in the next year, 2022, we will continue our glorious campaign, reinforce the status of this activity, and continuously exert endeavors to the construction of global ecological civilization construction and a community of life on earth.

The first meeting of the next year would be settled during the first ten-day period of January and focus on global conversations between arid regions. It is reckoned that the outcome of this meeting will be sent to Geneva, Switzerland, where the follow-up meeting of WG2020-3 will be opened. Please keep close attention on our programs.
