On the cover: In recent years, driven by the new round of scientific and technological revolution coupled with carbon neutrality, the energy structure is undergoing unprecedented changes. Biomass energy can be obtained from abundant resources by a number of application ways, which is zero-carbon and has unique effect of carbon negative emission. Meanwhile, advanced conversion technologies, such as BECCS, pyrolysis, and biohydrogen, are also joining the way to make a better bioenergy. Clean products of biomass have been promoted to a prospective future. Combination of biomass energy development and advanced technology will realize a more flexible and imaginative use of biomass, contributing to a green, low-carbon and sustainable development. For a bright and recyclable future, we should improve the use of biomass energy and unlock its huge potential for energy conservation and carbon reduction. |

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
To meet the challenge of biodiversity loss and reach the targets of the proposed Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, the Chinese government updated the list of national key protected wildlife in 2021 and has been continually expanding the protected areas (PAs). However, the status of protected wildlife in PAs remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a national assessment of the status of protected wildlife and suggested an optimization plan to overcome these shortcomings. From 1988 to 2021, the number of protected species almost doubled, and the area of PAs increased by 2.4 times, covering over 92.8% of the protected species.
