2017 Winner | | Chinese

Mangrove E-Patrol links on-line and off-line mangrove conservation through a designed e-map. To protect the mangrove from further destruction and monitor its changes, we have established patrol teams nationwide, recording the ecological information as well as exposing and handling destructive events. Based on this, we are developing an online map that can be linked with WeChat to further encourage public participation in patrol. WeChat has a wide user group in China, so everyone could be a user and a creator of the map. Public users can upload location, photos and descriptions to the map to present the first-hand information related to mangroves in real time.

I received my bachelor’s degree in bioengineering from Fuzhou University and spent my senior year in UC Davis as a visiting student with CSC scholarship. Currently, I am the project manager in China Mangrove Conservation Network, a local NGO in China, in charge of project design and perfection, volunteer management and advocacy, outreach and environmental laws, etc.
