The conservation of biodiversity has become one of the greatest challenges of our time. As one of the 25 biodiversity hotspots in the world, Seychelles has positioned itself as a champion and defender of the environment. The island nation has made great progress in protecting its surrounding marine environment and is committed to extending the conservation area.

What experience in biodiversity preservation can Seychelles share with the rest of the world? And how will Seychelles further implement the Blue Economy concept to contribute to sustainable development?

To discuss these questions and more, CGTN's anchor Xu Qinduo sat down with Wavel Ramkalawan, President of the Republic of Seychelles.
