Chinas biodiversity
� China belongs to the global biodiversityhotspots
� 10% of all global plant species (over 32.000 vascular plants) – 3rd rank worldwide behindBrasil and Colombia
� 14% of all animal species (6.347 vertebrates)� China is therefore one of the most important
gene pools supporting world biological diversity

� Conservation International ‘s Hotspots
� WWF 200 ecoregions
� Birdlife International ‘s Endemic Bird Areas
� Amphibian Diversity Areas
� Centres of Plant Diversity
�Alliance for Zero Extinction Sites
‘HIGH BIODIVERSITY’ = areas
where at least four of these
global priority schemes overlap

But…..� Up to 20% of all species are endangered� Biodiversity loss is caused by the
consequences of economic growth and aggravated by the effects of climate change
� China is No. 1 in global CO2 emissions� Increase in population� Growing demand on natural ressources� Accelerating industrialization
