Hainan is home to the most concentrated, diverse, well-preserved, and expansive continental island tropical rainforests in China.

Since 2023, with the support of the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park Administration, SSCC has been exploring the conservation of tropical rainforests and the ocean, as well as community development efforts in Hainan. Our work provides support and recommendations for improving the ecological management system of the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park’s ecological guards, encouraging the participation of national park science volunteers, and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs).

Since 2025, under the guidance of the Hainan Provincial Forestry Department and with support from the Shanghai Stock Exchange Charity Foundation, SSCC has been carrying out marine conservation work in Hainan. Through marine species conservation and habitat restoration, the initiative aims to expand baseline data and scientific understanding of marine species and ecosystems. It also seeks to improve the effectiveness of marine protected areas by strengthening their conservation capacity and supporting the sustainable development of fishing communities, while promoting the sustainable use of marine resources by these communities.
