Human–elephant conflict in Xishuangbanna has been reduced through insurance mechanisms. Feasibility studies have been completed for Flyway Index Insurance targeting migratory bird habitats, while support is underway in Yunnan to develop Flower Index Insurance for pollination-dependent crops and Coral Reef Index Insurance for coastal protection.
Conservation and Finance Alignment
A strong policy framework is driving increasing financial sector engagement on biodiversity in China. A landmark outcome—the permanent cancellation of the Gasajiang Dam following the country’s first preventive public interest lawsuit for endangered wildlife—has secured long-term protection of the last intact habitat of the Green Peafowl.
