member since 1990
I graduated from the Faculty of Biology at Xinjiang University in 1977. I have been working at the Department of Zoology, Xinjiang Institute of Biology, Pedology and Desert Research of the Xinjiang University 1981-1995. I then studied English and French in Urumqi and Beijing and spent a year at the University of Lausanne and Berne, Switzerland, in 1997/1998. Since then I have been working for the Department of Biological Resources, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Science. I have been involved in a study on the status of the five cat species in Xinjiang (snow leopard, lynx, manul, Chinese mountain cat, wildcat) and a conservation study on the wildcat and the manul.
