Current Position:

Emeritus Professor of Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)



Introduction:

Prof. Xu Zaifu is former director (1987.1-2001.6) of XTBG. He has made outstanding contributions to XTBG over the past more than 30 years in such fields as ex situ conservation of rare and endangered plants, ethno forest culture, biodiversity conservation and mechanism on biodiversity sustainable development. So far, Prof. Xu has published 140 research papers both at home and abroad and edited 21 publications. He has received many prizes at provincial and ministerial levels.

In 2006, he was conferred on Appointment Letter of Emeritus Professorship by CAS vice president Chen Zhu in recognition of his outstanding contributions to XTBG.
