The international cooperation projects made good progress in 2016. The compilation of MOST international project "Ecosystem Monitoring and adaptive management in the typical areas of the Nile Basin" was doing well this year. Lots of efforts have been done on the recognition and the vectorization of vegetation cover in Lake Tana river basin, providing reference information on local vegetation cover assessment, ecological protection and land resources programming. Our researchers, who are carrying on NSFC international project "Flora of Pan-Himalayan", participated in China-Japan-Korea Trilateral Meeting “East Asian Plant Diversity and Conservation 2016”, and exchanged more than one thousand plant samples and DNA samples with foreign cooperators.
