WILDLIFE PROTECTION BY 3D SURVEY
Chinese researchers are using a new visualized survey to monitor and conserve biodiversity in the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas, a UNESCO world heritage site in southwest China.
The new method, dubbed 3D-map-based interview survey, is an effective tool to collect local knowledge on biological information over large areas that is followed by field investigation and data analysis. Interviewees could point out the location of the rare wild animals they had observed.
CANCER DETECTION DEVICE
A China-developed cutting-edge cancer detection device, which integrates positron emission tomography (PET) scans and CT scans, has been approved by national drug regulators and obtained market access earlier this month.
The equipment was developed by scientists from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology based in Wuhan, Hubei Province, after a 19-year study.
