Conservation International China (CI China) is the China country programme of Conservation International. Established in 2002, the programme works on biodiversity conservation and sustainable-development initiatives in China, with early projects focused on the mountainous biodiversity regions of Southwest China and later expansion into freshwater and wetland conservation.
Programme work has included conservation programmes in southwest China, pilot work on payments for ecosystem services (PES) around the Lashihai Nature Reserve near Lijiang in Yunnan, and freshwater-basin initiatives applying the Freshwater Health Index (FHI) approach in areas including the Poyang Lake basin and the Dongjiang River basin.
