Using an innovative data analysis method, a research team from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently demonstrated that the intense uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau since the Neogene (approximately 23 million years ago) has made northern China and Central Asia a core region for mammalian evolution in the Northern Hemisphere.
Thanks to the three-pronged strategy and the measures taken to protect and restore the Yangtze River, including the Yangtze River Protection Law and the 10-year fishing ban, the Yangtze finless porpoise population has rebounded in recent years.
A recent study has shed new light on how global warming has reshaped extreme rainfall and snowfall across the Northern Hemisphere over the past seven decades.
