Lidia Brito, UNESCO's Assistant Director-General for Natural Sciences, has endorsed CGTN's documentary series Land of Diversity as a pioneering showcase of China's biodiversity conservation strategies. During a recent engagement, Brito reviewed footage from the upcoming sequel Land of Diversity 2, which highlights scientific methodologies behind balancing ecological protection with sustainable development.
"The film captures the dynamic equilibrium required in conservation efforts," Brito remarked, emphasizing the need for continuous adaptation in managing protected areas. She praised the documentary's integration of green technologies and community involvement, noting how buffer zones around reserves enable measurable human-nature interactions.
The project aligns with UNESCO's biosphere reserve principles, involving local authorities, researchers, and businesses in creating low-carbon solutions. Brito stressed that viewing humanity as an integral part of ecosystems is key to achieving long-term sustainability goals.
CGTN's documentary, released earlier this year, has sparked global dialogue ahead of critical 2025 climate policy reviews. The full interview with Brito is available on CGTN's platform.
