The international biodiversity conference taking place in Kenya's Maasai Mara University has shed light on the growing contribution of China towards conservation of rare species in Africa. Policymakers and scientists attending the conference co-organized by Alliance of International Science Organizations (ANSO) and Sino-Africa Joint Research Centre (SAJOREC), noted that biodiversity conservation has become a critical feature of China-Africa bilateral cooperation.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Sino-Zimbabwe Wildlife Foundation on Thursday donated anti-poaching equipment to the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks). The 62,000-U.S.-dollar worth of equipment includes six conservation drones, a laptop, power point projector and 1,000 first aid kits.

China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, has for the first time detected eruptive pulses of radio energy from an object known to the astronomy community as FRB 121102.

China has published a national standard for ground search-and-rescue robots, according to a source of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Drafting of the national standard, initiated by the Standardization Administration of China, was undertaken by the Shenyang Institute of Automation under the CAS, in cooperation with units including the National Earthquake Response Support Service and a number of leading robot companies.

An international research team recently discovered a segmented bilaterian fossil about 550 million years old in China, which represents one of the oldest mobile and segmented animals. The new fossil species, found in the Yangtze Gorges area, is named Yilingia spiciformis.

The Chinese and Australian scientific communities have great potential for partnership in tackling sustainability, rapid urbanization, new cutting-edge technologies, as well as other pressing challenges of the time, experts from both countries said on Wednesday.

An international conference on biodiversity opened in Kenya's Maasai Mara University on Wednesday with a renewed call for concerted efforts to protect rare species amid threats linked to climate change and a rapid population growth.

Researchers have for the first time observed the accelerated rate at which eight quasars consume interstellar fuel to feed their black holes, which is vividly compared to "starved dragon" in the space. They published their results on Sept 4th, Nature.

During the World Robot Conference 2019 (WRC2019) held in Beijing, SIASUN Robot & Automation Co Ltd (SIASUN) showcased more than ten different types of its most advanced robots including collaborative robots, special robots, industrial robots and medical care robots.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Nairobi-based African Academy of Sciences (AAS) to boost cooperation. Bai Chunli, president of CAS, hailed the signing of an MOU with the pan-African science body that is geared towards promoting collaborative research, skills development and technology transfer.

With less than 1,000 Yangtze finless porpoises (YFPs) believed left on the planet, SeaWorld in collaboration with researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, has published a new, foundational study in Frontiers in Physiology establishing an official spectrum for biologists and veterinarians to determine if members of the species are healthy.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has donated water analysis technology equipment to Maasai Mara University located in southwest Kenya. The over 100-million-shilling (1 million U.S. dollars) equipment will greatly aid in research to address challenges facing drylands and wetlands in Kenya and the East Africa region.
