Under his leadership, the team has developed 4 forest carbon projects, which have restored 10,000 forests in China’s biodiversity hotspots. Mr. Jian Ma also leads TNC’s science team, working with the Ministry of Environmental Protection to define China’s biodiversity roadmap for 2010–2030.  


Mr. Caifu Tang, a senior forestry engineer, is mainly engaged in forestry carbon sequestration development and implementation, forestry carbon sequestration potential evaluation and development planning, as well as community forestry work.
