The secondary forest in Nilka, the largest and best-reserved in Asia, covers an area of 210,000 hectares and extends 100 kilometers.

Climate summit meets in Lima

Delegates from more than 196 countries started a new round of climate change talks in Lima, Peru, on Monday with the goal of hammering out a draft global agreement on emissions reductions to be signed in Paris at the end of next year.
The two-week Lima conference will be a key step toward a successful outcome in Paris, said Su Wei, China's chief climate negotiator and director general of the Climate Change Department under the National Development and Reform Commission, in Lima on Monday.
The Chinese government hopes parties can accelerate pre-2020 actions. Developed countries should contribute ambitious emissions reductions before 2020 and provide financing, technology transfer and capacity building as promised to developing countries, said Su.
According to the conference's agenda, countries will put forward what they propose to contribute to the planned 2015 agreement in the form of intended nationally determined contributions by the first quarter of 2015.
"China hopes the Lima conference will lead to a 2015 agreement that reflects the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and fairness," said Su.
Negotiators and observers said the joint climate announcement made by China and the US earlier this month and the target announced by the European Union has "injected positive impetus into the negotiations".
European Commission chief negotiator Elina Bardram said on Monday that the EU welcomed the announcement made by the US and China on Nov 12.
It's a "very positive" deal and it's allied to the agreement the EU reached on Oct 24, said Bardram, calling on other major economies to "be a part of the game and do it on time".
China said it intends to peak its carbon emissions around 2030 and the US set new goals to cut emissions to 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025.
European Union leaders reached an agreement to see the bloc's carbon emissions cut by 40 percent by 2030 from 1990 levels.
"This joint announcement provides both practical and political momentum towards a new, universal climate agreement in Paris in late 2015," said Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN framework convention on climate change.
In her opening address to the conference on Monday, she warned of the urgency of taking action and said 2014 was likely to be the hottest year on record as emissions continued to rise.
"Here in Lima, to aspire to great heights ourselves, we must draw several critical lines of action," she said.
Developed countries have pledged $9.7 billion to the new Green Climate Fund, but the amount remains too small compared to their promise to mobilize $100 billion per year in climate finance by 2020.
Observers urged developed countries to present a credible roadmap on how they are going to mobilize the funding in order to meet the commitment.
All countries must use the Lima summit to resolve the impasse over "climate finance", and make success possible at the critical Paris talks in December 2015, said international agency Oxfam.
"The $100 billion promise is an iconic reference point in global climate negotiations," said Oxfam executive director Winnie Byanyima. "Countries have haggled over it for years. But for people on the front lines of the climate crisis, this abstract number has made little to no difference in their lives."

(ECNS) — About one thousand black-headed gulls have died from a suspected poisoning in Changli county, Qinghuangdao city, north China's Hebei province, according to China National Radio.
Researchers from the Northeast Forestry University in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, ruled out the possibility of avian flu with a sample test, the World Wide Fund For Nature said.
The birds may have been poisoned or eaten fish affected by pollution. An investigation is ongoing.
The dead gulls were found in the Qilihai Wetland, on the flight route for migratory birds from Siberia to the Far East.

Cooling of 'civil servant fever' draws positive response

Chinese Internet users seemed pleased with the cooling off of "civil servant fever" as fewer people took the national civil service examination on Sunday.
Some 1.4 million people have applied for government jobs this year and nearly 900,000 actually sat the exam, both about 100,000 fewer than last year. The figures are the lowest in five years.
An analysis of comments on the Internet found that 73.6 percent of them "liked" the fact and said that was not beyond expectation, according to the China Youth Daily public opinion monitoring office.
"Zhu Changhong" said it was strange that thousands of people were competing for a single government post, concluding that they must have thought working for the government meant higher income, both "evident" and "hidden", and better social security.
Only 51.6 percent of comments thought anti-graft campaigns were a significant factor.
Discussions since 2013, on whether civil servants' salaries should be raised have helped people to make rational choices, according to the China Youth Daily. Many grassroots civil servants have revealed their actual incomes online, and they are not as high as people had imagined,.
Xue Lan, Dean of the school of public policy and management of Tsinghua University, said low incomes and work pressure hab made young people think again.
Since the third plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, the procedure for starting a business has been greatly simplified, which offers a bigger variety of job opportunities.
"Xiaozhong" said that when the difference between working for the government and private sector is not that big, when it's feasible for people to start their own businesses, the "civil servant fever" has naturally cooled
Xue Lan does not care about how many people applied, but about the quality of those who did.
"Through research on the change of candidate mix, we can help the government better set posts and allocate manpower," he said.

Strong cold front to hit central, east China

2014-12-01 17:21 Xinhua Web Editor: Mo Hong'e
A strong cold front will sweep central and east China, bringing sharp temperature drops on Monday and Tuesday, the National Meteorological Center said on Monday.
The center warned that temperatures will drop by about 8 degrees Celsius in parts of northeast and south China, areas along the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers, as well as regions to the south of the Yangtze over the next two days. The eastern parts of Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces will see temperatures drops of over 10 degrees Celsius, accompanied by strong winds.
The center forecast that the eastern part of Heilongjiang will see heavy snow, with some areas experiencing blizzards with up to 30 mm of snow.
The observatory continued a blue alert for cold wave on Monday morning.
China has a four-tier color-coded warning system for severe weather, with red being the most serious, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
