生物多样性的丧失及其对人类社会的影响引起了世界各国的担忧,生态学与保护生物学作为深入认识和保护生物多样性的基础学科而受到重视并得到迅速发展。独立于大学课程之外的培训班在促进研究者的交流与合作,培养生态学与保护生物学研究领域的国际化人才,促进新知识、新技能的传播等方面发挥着越来越重要的作用,并被普遍认可。

The loss of biodiversity and its impact on human society have aroused the concern of countries in the world. Ecology and Conservation Biology, taken as the basic disciplines for the conservation of the biodiversity, have been attached importance and developed rapidly nowadays. Non-formal education such as training courses independent of university formal courses are playing an increasingly important role in promoting the connection and cooperation of researchers, cultivating international talents in the field of ecology and conservation biology, and promoting the dissemination of new knowledge and research skills, and are widely recognized.
