The College of Ecology and Nature Conservation has unveiled 12 flagship courses through its "Voices of Nature" doctoral lecturer initiative following rigorous evaluation. These courses translate ecological civilization principles into actionable knowledge for public engagement. 

At the review session, Vice Dean of the College underscored the importance of cultivating lecturers with four core qualities: ideals, expertise, passion, and dedication. The Vice Secretary of the Graduate Association then outlined key development priorities, including clarifying instructor roles, refining course content, and innovating teaching methodologies.Senior researcher Ye Yuanxing provided pedagogical guidance stressing accuracy, clarity, interactivity, and practicality. 

Lecturers demonstrated courses on carbon neutrality and sustainable living, flagship species conservation, forest therapy science, national park management, cross-border invasive species control, etc. 

Two standout courses exemplify the program's global perspective. "The Plastic Paradox: Why Convenience Threatens Ecological Civilization?" by Moroccan student MAJDA AOUITITEN from the School of Soil and Water Conservation examines the ecological costs of convenience culture through plastic pollution case studies; "Wetland Guardians: Protecting Ducks by Protecting Their Habitat" by Bangladeshi student AHMAD FAYSAL from the College of Ecology and Nature Conservation demonstrates habitat-based conservation using wild duck ecosystems as focal models. These offerings expand cross-cultural dialogues on pressing environmental challenges.
