A team of researchers has taken to Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG)to study, log and preserve species under serious threat from human incursion.The sixth mass extinction is coming, with nearly half of all living species on the planet likely to disappear by the end of this century, according to recent scientific studies. How to prevent it? Scientists around the world have been trying to figure that out. At Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden in Menglun, Yunnan province, professor Chen Jin and professor Richard Thomas Corlett have worked out their own solution.
"The idea came up: Why can't we push for the establishment of Sino-Africa Joint Research Centre, where Chinese and African researchers, young researchers and mature researchers, would be able to come together and co-operate for the benefit of both countries and the world? That is just an idea, and from there it had to move to reality," he says.
