Summer plants at the National Botanical Gardens
Millions of years
We share the same home as millions of species
But so far
Face the creatures that are commonplace around you
We may not even know their names
Curiosity is the beginning of understanding nature
May 22
International Day of Biodiversity
to seriously complete a discovery
"Where are the Magical Species"
Mission it!

With the help of Zhang Chenliang, a popular "infinitesimal light"
Walk into the listing "full moon" not long ago

Embarked on a journey to find "treasure" in early summer
01 Biological diversity is natural and the world is more beautiful
Research on the "Bee Attracting Butterflies" tool
China is one of the countries with the richest plant diversity in the world, with more than 37,000 known species of higher plants, accounting for about one-tenth of the world's total. In order to better protect wild plant resources, botanical gardens have become the main places for ex situ conservation.
The National Botanical Gardens are currently home to 15,000 ex situ protected plants and are home to many indigenous plants. Here, we encountered common plants such as maran flowers and wax plums; we also found rare plant species such as Metasequoia and Juniper.
What is the significance of protecting biodiversity? Zhang Chenliang felt that he did not need too much explanation. "Looking up at the size of the universe and looking down at the grandeur of the category" is the consciousness of human beings since ancient times. The more magical nature is, the more diverse the creatures, the better the world becomes. "When a butterfly flies past you and you think it looks good, that's the meaning."
02 Insects are our most accessible wildlife
Observe large mosquito larvae, golden-green broad-shield bugs
The creek in Cherry Valley in the National Botanical Garden is Zhang Chenliang's paradise. When Wang Bingbing was still immersed in why the name of the "Golden Green Wide Shield Bug" was so difficult to remember, Zhang Chenliang had already run under the bridge to look for aquatic insects.
Hook shrimp, planarians, ephemera, dragon lice, large mosquito larvae... These bugs, which others were not paying much attention to or fearing, were held in his hands and observed. He is familiar with their form, structure, growing environment and living habits.
Insects are the most abundant group of animals on Earth. In prehistory, they "dominated" the earth, but the environment changed, and some eventually survived in their current form. Delving into the world of insects, Zhang Chenliang is very addicted. He feels that many insects are "living fossils" and that they are our "most accessible wild animals." Observe them and you will get real relaxation.
03 Turning a hobby into a job is a blessing for me
Observe the dragon lice
Heavy insect enthusiasts, associate editors of "Naturalist" magazine, popular science video bloggers, social platform celebrities... With the popular science content produced throughout the Network, Zhang Chenliang's identity label has been increasing.
Is it easy to do popular science short videos? Zhang Chenliang frankly said, "It is a 'miracle' to survive. " After ten years of deep cultivation, he has gained tens of millions of fans, and the challenge of knowledge and science popularization work is getting bigger and bigger, why can he still insist?" Turning a hobby into a job has two consequences, one is happiness and the other is pain, and I belong to the former at the moment. Zhang Chenliang believes that "if others' doubts for many years are solved by you, then such popular science will be successful." ”
