Ma Weihua, Chairman of the Board of Directors of CGPI and member of the Global Steering Committee on the Impact of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, said that China's development potential of impact investment should not be underestimated. In the future, China will become the largest impact investment market in the world.
The seminar was selected in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, not only because of its precious tropical rainforest ecology, rich diversity of animals and plants, and colorful ethnic minority culture, but also because it is a natural experimental field for practitioners to solve social problems to develop innovative solutions.
Here, GPL students went to the core villages in the tropical rainforest reserve to visit the rural revitalization complex project and learn to design the rural revitalization project scientifically. They Participated in the observation and scientific research on the behavior of wild elephants in the Asian Elephant Rescue and Breeding Center, and understood the difficulties and solutions faced by biodiversity conservation.
