Symposium Promotes Integrated Monitoring of Climate Change and Biodiversity with Environmental and Earth Observation
14 Apr 2026
The 2nd Symposium on Enhancing Integrated Monitoring of Climate Change and Biodiversity with Environmental and Earth Observation was held from March 20 to 22, 2026, in Wuyishan City, Fujian Province. The event was jointly hosted by the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIRCAS) and the People's Government of Wuyishan City, and undertaken by Fujian Aerospace Carbon Technology Group Co., Ltd.
More than 50 experts, scholars, and representatives from government agencies and industry participated, covering fields such as Earth observation, climate change, environmental monitoring, ecology, and conservation. Discussions focused on building air–space–ground integrated observation networks, advancing monitoring technologies, strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, and promoting the transformation and application of scientific achievements. A key consensus highlighted the importance of continuously integrating advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence and big data, with ecology and conservation biology.
Mangdang Mountain and Wuyishan Mountain were selected as demonstration sites to establish a long-term, stable integrated monitoring system for climate and biodiversity, aiming to provide replicable models for ecological conservation and high-quality development nationwide.
During the symposium, the Wuyishan Municipal Forestry Bureau authorized the China–EU BioClima project team to conduct observations on key forestry sample plots. Representing the project, Prof. LIU Yalan attended the authorization ceremony. Prof. MEI Linlu led pilot field campaigns combining ground-based measurements, drone observations, and satellite data to advance air–space–ground integrated monitoring in Mangdang Mountain National Nature Reserve and Wuyishan National Park.
The symposium provided a high-level platform for academic exchange and cooperation, promoting the integration of scientific research, governance, and industrial application. It is expected to enhance the role of aerospace information technology in biodiversity conservation and climate resilience, supporting ecological security and sustainable development in China.
