China will establish an international mangrove center in the southern city of Shenzhen as an important site of global mangrove preservation and cooperation. An announcement in this regard was made at the 14th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (COP14) on November 5.
Mangrove forests cover an area of about 14.7 million hectares worldwide, which is about the size of Bangladesh, according to the Global Mangrove Alliance (GMA).
China's mangrove area has increased from 22,000 hectares in 2001 to 27,000 hectares today, making it one of the few countries in the world with a net increase in mangrove areas, said Li Chunliang, deputy director of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration of China.
CGTN's Xu Jinhui interviewed Professor Lei Guangchun, chair of Scientific and Technical Review Panel of Ramsar Convention, who is currently attending COP14 meetings in Geneva, Switzerland, about the significance of the international mangrove center. Watch the video to learn why the center will be set up in Shenzhen and what China has done to protect mangrove forests in the past few decades.
