During the Virtual Ocean Week 2024 of our global network, I acted as a curator of a session for different countries. I decided to select the mapping exercise of biodiversity hotspots in Yellow Sea in China, as they are straightforward yet can invoke thinking.
The real exercise was done by our local partner (I am not so technical!), using the Systematic Conservation Planning way. The balance between species and habitats is well considered. This happened to be the same way I worked on the Yangtze Basin. Therefore, all my consideration during my previous exercise can be introduced to our ocean colleagues.
Through such virtual gatherings, we feel the power of a large conservation network.
