    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] Today (October 11), the first phase of "COP15", the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations "Convention on Biological Diversity", which has attracted worldwide attention, opened in Kunming, Yunnan this afternoon
    .
    It aims to promote the construction of global ecological civilization and emphasizes that man and nature are the community of life.
    So, do you know which instruments and meters help protect biodiversity?
     
    Chemical machinery equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery equipment instruments and meters
    Biodiversity is related to human well-being and is an important foundation for human survival and development.
    Today (October 11), the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, "COP15", has attracted global attention.
    The first phase of the meeting opened in Kunming, Yunnan this afternoon
    .

     

    "Convention on Biological Diversity" meeting held
     

    It is understood that in 1993, the "Convention on Biological Diversity" formally entered into force
    .
    China is one of the first parties to sign and ratify the Convention on Biological Diversity
    .
    Up to now, there are 196 parties to the convention
    .
    The Conference of the Parties is the highest deliberative and decision-making mechanism of the Convention and is held every two years
    .

     

    On October 11, the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) opened in Kunming, Yunnan, and conducted extensive discussions on the new global biodiversity target for 2030, and promoted the achievement of a comprehensive balance, strength, and sustainability.
    Implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity action framework
    .

     

      "Ecological Civilization: Building a Community of Life on Earth" is not only the theme of this conference, but also a beautiful message from people to the future
    .
    As an important meeting of the United Nations in the field of ecological environment, the blueprint for global biodiversity governance in the next 10 years will move from here to the world
    .

     

      In our country, we have been paying attention to the protection of biodiversity
     

      Recently, China’s first "China's Biodiversity Conservation" white paper was released, which intensively demonstrated China's theoretical system, practical experience, and achievements in biodiversity conservation over the years
    .
    China has continuously strengthened the protection and restoration of wildlife and habitats through various measures such as promoting the construction of a natural protected area system and severely cracking down on illegal trade
    .
    90% of terrestrial ecosystem types and 71% of national key protected wild animal and plant species are effectively protected
    .

     

      The editor understands that China is one of the countries with rich biodiversity
    .
    According to statistics from the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, China currently has 11,800 protected areas of various types, accounting for 18% of the land area and 4.
    1% of the territorial waters
    .
    Among the wild animals distributed in nature, there are about 7,300 species of vertebrates, including 564 species of beasts, 416 species of amphibians, 1,445 species of birds, 463 species of reptiles, and the rest are fish; about 130,000 species of insects have been named; higher plants There are more than 30,000 species, including more than 17,000 species of endemic plants
    .

     

      Therefore, in the face of abundant species, real-time biological monitoring is very necessary
    .
    Biodiversity monitoring is the repeated cataloging of biodiversity on a time scale to determine its changes
    .
    Promoting the construction of global ecological civilization, emphasizing that man and nature are the community of life, and protecting biodiversity is more important
    .
    So, do you know which instruments and meters help protect biodiversity?
     

      Biodiversity protection instrumentation to help
     

      At present, human beings are at the crossroads of protecting biodiversity and realizing global sustainable development
    .
    In order to protect biodiversity, protect the material cornerstones that people depend on, and achieve biodiversity goals, scientific and technological support is very important.
    China has adopted many scientific measures to deal with it.
    Among them, there are many instruments
    .

     

      First of all, the monitoring equipment is reported.
    Biodiversity monitoring includes the monitoring of the diversity within the community, the diversity index between the communities, and the monitoring of the same kind of habitat index in different places
    .
    The monitoring methods are mostly manual, instrument, and genetic technology monitoring
    .
    For example, infrared trigger cameras can be used to clearly monitor beasts and ground-moving birds.
    The voice recorder can automatically collect the calls of birds, and use soundscape analysis to identify biological species and evaluate diversity
    .

     
    Monitoring instrument
      Secondly, biotechnology will help
    .
    Among them, the genome sequencing technology in genetic engineering can be called a "powerful person" in the protection of biodiversity
    .
    Using this technology can improve the genes of existing endangered species, thereby enhancing their adaptability to the environment and increasing the survival rate of species
    .

     

      Furthermore, meteorological observation equipment, ecological environment remote sensing systems, lidars, etc.
    , these advanced instruments and equipment can not only conduct real-time investigations on the ecological environment pollution in nature reserves, but also on the activities and growth status of endangered animals and plants in the protected areas.
    Wait for all-weather observations
    .
    It can be said that these instruments and equipment have created a safe and comfortable "cradle" for the "national treasures"
    .

     

      With the development of science and technology, the combination of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, the Internet and big data technologies is used to establish a real-time ecological monitoring system platform to improve the informatization, scientific and modern level of ecological monitoring to protect biodiversity
    .
