On May 23, 2026, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) participated in China's "International Biodiversity Day" celebration, co-hosted by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and Shanghai Chongming District. The event highlighted the Chongming Eco-island project, demonstrating how biodiversity can be integrated into agri-food policies and promoted locally. For more, visit FAO's biodiversity page.

FAO Assistant Director-General Kaveh Zahedi emphasized the need to scale up initiatives like the Dongtan project, which exemplifies the day's theme: "护一方生灵 泽万物共荣" (Protect one side's creatures, benefit all things and prosper together).
