Nature conservation festival gets underway in Shanghai

In addition, 30 nature films will be shown to the public at local venues including the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, the China Maritime Museum, and the Estuary Science and Technology Museum of Yangtze River Shanghai.

Hu Yanbin, a local singer who is serving as the ambassador of the festival this year, shared his insights into a low-carbon life and an ecological city. 

"Shanghai has pedestrian walkways alongside the Huangpu river for jogging at night. The Suzhou Creek is cleaner with birds flying above the water's surface. I believe this is the epitome of an ideal ecological city we desire," he said.

Hu also called on the public to pursue eco-friendly means of transportation and consumption to protect biodiversity and contribute to China's peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality goals.
