Work Experience:

     Since 1984, I have been working on ecology，biodiversity  and conservation issues for 20 years. My students and I have carried out studies on conservation issues related to endangered mammals in China, my research interests are also extended to study of the habitat conservation of giant panda as well as nature reserve design in relation to wildlife management. My students and I surveyed the biodiversity of the Tiankengdafeng region, a candidate site for World Nature Heritage, Longxi-Hongkou, Taohongling and Laoxiancheng natural reserves and finished a three-year wildlife monitoring program for the Mt. Wuyishan, a Natural Heritage site in Southeast China. I was a visiting scientist of Department of Zoology, Uppsala University, Sweden and Department of Zoology, Cambridge University, UK and collaborated with Dr. Frederic Wideom and Prof. Tim Clutton-Brock. I served as the Chairman of the Department of Conservation Biology in the Institute of Zoology from 1994 to 2000. Since 1999, I have been serving as the Executive Director of the CITES Scientific Authority of China (Endangered Species Scientific Commission of China, ESSC); I am familiar with international biodiversity conservation related issues. I served on the National Nature Reserve Commission of China for eight years, surveyed more than 100 natural reserves during that period and was responsible for evaluating about 20 new National Nature Reserves, including the largest reserves like Qinagtang Natural Reserve, Kekexili Natural Reserve on the Tibetan Plateau. During 2003-2004, I also worked for European Union as Biodiversity Specialist, together with the EU Biodiversity team, we designed the EU-China Biodiversity Capacity Building Project which was signed by the EU Commission and Chinese government in 2004. Since 1994, I have successfully applied for 29 research grants from domestic and internationally funding agencies, including China National Science Foundation, National Geographic Society, Sir Peter Scot Fund, German Zoological Society for Species and Population Conservation, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, and Trust Fund of CITES. During the past ten years, I have coordinated a key basic research project (2001-2005), Mechanism of Species Endangerment and Conservation Measures, of National Ministry of Science and Technology and two other basic research projects of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
