Then, itengaged Internetusers and experts to select a variety of organisms to be featured on identification cards to be showcased in the “Cards of the Aquatic Biological Species in the Ten Major Rivers of China” promotional video. Through the promotion of these ten rivers, this project hoped to promote biodiversity and environmental protection. The “Catalogue of life China 2015 Annual Checklist, China Biodiversity Red List “ promotional video, on the other hand, was written by the Department of Environmental Protection and the Chinese School of Science in 2008. Lasting a total of five years, this project attracted over 500 experts from all over China and created the most comprehensive and detailed flora and vertebrate categorization volumes to date.
