Zhuo Qiang, also known and aliased as Simba, said China, as a major developing country with an earnest sense of responsibility towards the shared destiny of humankind, is actively participating in the global pursuit of an ecological civilization, and this has brought hope and progress to the cause. Over the weekend, a few hundred attendees from home and abroad joined Zhuo in the Run for Wildlife, a charitable event held on the western outskirts of Beijing. While running up and down a 5-km hilly path across the forest park, participants vowed to reject wildlife products and do what they can to protect endangered species and defend the world ecosystem. It is delightful to see more and more Chinese people become aware and join the cause to protect wildlife, Zhuo said, who flew back from Kenya to support the event organized by Nature Guardian, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting habitat conservation, public education and international exchange between China and Africa. In 2011, Zhuo traveled to Mara-Serengeti savannah, where he has been staying with the indigenous Maasai people and working with local conservationists at Ol Kinyei Conservancy, a sanctuary for wildlife covering 260,000 hectares of wilderness. In recent years, Zhuo and his team have welcomed many Chinese visitors including children who offered to volunteer for the project. Coming back from Kenya, Chinese volunteers shared their experience and called for an immediate end to the consumption of wildlife products, such as ivory, rhino horn, pangolin scales and big cat bones. camo silicone wristbandswarfarin silicone braceletbracelet montre silicone 14mm24 hour wristbandswristbands canada

[Photo by Feng Chonglin/chinadaily.com.cn] BEIJING -- The Chinese traditional medicine (TCM) evidence-based medical center, the world's first organization of such kind, was officially established Tuesday in the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (CACMS). The center will pool together efforts of CACMS and other organizations like Beijing University of Chinese Medicine for TCM evidence-based research. Evidence-based medicine is a widely-used approach in medical practice that is intended to optimize decision-making in treating individual patients by emphasizing the use of evidence from well-designed and well conducted research. Under this approach, clinical evidence serves as the main basis for evaluating effectiveness and safety of treatment. Though increasingly recognized around the world, TCM still lacks evidence justifying its clinical effectiveness and safety, which according to experts hinders it from going global. Evidence-based medical studies evaluate the clinical verifiability and effectiveness of a medical theory with scientific examination and analysis, said Huang Luqi, academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering and head of CACMS, at a Tuesday event marking the center's establishment. Combining evidence-based medical studies and TCM's features will help enhance clinical effectiveness of TCM, as well as provide opportunities for TCM to prove its medical values to the world, Huang said. Former Director-General of World Health Organization Margaret Chan said TCM had served the health needs of people in China and beyond for several thousand years and its safety and effectiveness deserved to be recognized. There should not be barriers between TCM and western medicine, which both should join forces to serve people's health needs, she said. design your own silicone wristband onlinejac vanek rubber braceletpersonalized memory braceletbulk order wristbandsrubber wristbands australia<%2fcenter>
