Actively participate in biodiversity conservation and promote the sustainable development of the Tibetan medicine industry.

　　May 22 is International Day for Biological Diversity. At the commemorative conference on “May 22 International Day for Biological Diversity,” organized by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, attendees and speakers included Chen Jining, Minister of the Ministry of Environmental Protection; Díaz, Executive Secretary of the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity; and Hu Deping, Chairman of the China Biodiversity and Green Development Foundation. The commemorative conference also featured a themed exhibition titled “Biodiversity Promotes Sustainable Development—China in Action.” As the sole representative from the pharmaceutical industry, Qizheng Tibetan Medicine participated in this exhibition, showcasing the company’s practical achievements in the conservation and utilization of medicinal biological resources.

　　Over the past 20 years, Qizheng Tibetan Medicine has consistently focused on the protective development of ecological resources and the environment, building a business ecosystem that prioritizes long-term interests. In its development, the company places great emphasis on resource surveys, conducting extensive efforts to clarify the origins of Tibetan medicinal materials and implementing a source-oriented strategy. It actively leverages modern technological means to optimize production processes, thereby enhancing the efficiency of resource utilization in modern Tibetan medicine. The company practices sustainable procurement at the place of origin, promoting the protective development of local resources while recognizing the rights of local residents to use their ecological resources for both survival and development. Based on its strategic vision and the status of Tibetan medicinal resources, the company has established research and conservation bases across three key areas: Tibetan medicinal material conservation, Tibetan medicinal plant cultivation research, and wild-grown Tibetan medicinal plant management. Currently, the company operates 103,229 acres of various bases, cultivating and conserving 31 species of Tibetan medicinal materials, including 3 endangered species, 3 high-value species, and 25 species with strong growth potential as well as those classified as both medicinal and food resources. In 2014, the company was honored with the “Golden Bee Award—Growing Enterprise” for its sustained efforts in biodiversity conservation.

　　As early as 1996, Ms. Lei Jufang, Chairperson of the company, spearheaded the establishment of a Tibetan medicinal herb conservation base in Nanyigou, Linzhi, Tibet, making her company the first Tibetan pharmaceutical enterprise to set up such a base and thus initiating the protective development of plant resources on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Twenty years later, at the Two Sessions in 2015, as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Ms. Lei Jufang once again focused attention on the protective development of Tibetan medicinal herb resources, submitting a proposal titled “On Promoting the Protective Development of Ethnic Medicinal Resources.” The core theme of this proposal perfectly aligns with the theme of China’s 2015 International Day for Biological Diversity—“Biodiversity for Sustainable Development.”

　　It is understood that China joined the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity as early as 1993, making it one of the first countries to do so. In 2010, the State Council approved and released the "China Strategy and Action Plan for Biodiversity Conservation (2011-2030)," thereby elevating biodiversity conservation to the status of a national strategy. In 2011, China established the National Committee for Biodiversity Conservation, composed of 25 ministries and institutions—including the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and the Guangming Daily—making it the highest decision-making body for biodiversity conservation in China.
