I come from Weihai, Shandong Province. I received my bachelor’s degree in forestry from Nanjing Forestry University and my master’s degree in ecology from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences. My research focuses on place-based conservation education, particularly on adolescents’ agency and behavior. I am also involved in botanical and wildlife illustration and design. I hope to contribute to biodiversity conservation through my research and creative work.
