内容简介

Biological diversity" means the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems. It is the totality of all forms of life on the planet and as such, it is a common concern of humankind. Biodiversity needs urgent attention and action from all citizens of the world. This will be crucial in determining whether the environmental conditions that benefitted human civilizations for over 10,000 years will exist beyond this century. Witnessing the beauty of nature and understanding the connections between all living things and the importance of biodiversity for our own well-being, helps us all to take positive action. This book, "Fantastic Species: Wildlife Conservation in China through the Lens", takes us on a 100-year historical journey to discover the species and ecosystems of China. It helps us to appreciate the rich and unique biodiversity of China and learn about the evolution of conservation practices in China over the last century. This work comes at a timely moment, when world leaders and stakeholders come together at the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, hosted by the Government of the People’s Republic of China, to determine the course of action on the world’s biodiversity for the next decade and beyond. The powerful forces that bring humans to care for biodiversity must continue to be harnessed to support the achievement of the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity and those of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. It is my hope that this collection of beautiful photographs will touch the hearts and minds of readers and encourage them to become allies in achieving the 2050 Vision of Living in Harmony with Nature. （1）展示国家形象 充分展示了中国生物多样性的丰富性、独特性；通过珍贵的历史照片和保护工作者的一线视角，讲述了生物多样性保护的中国实践、中国贡献。 （2）分享保护经验 呈现了中国生物多样性保护和生态文明建设成果，总结了一个发展中国家艰难平衡发展与保护、因地制宜采取多样化保护措施、努力探索人与自然和谐共生之道的生存智慧。 （3）传播保护理念 用摄影作品的视觉效果唤起大众对动物保护的感性情结，一线工作照让读者理解保护工作的艰辛与复杂，用凝练的文字传播科学的保护观，引导公众从朴素的善念走向科学的行动。
