Global Mayors Dialogue·Wuhan | Where urban growth meets the rhythm of the Yangtze

As part of the 2026 Global Mayors Dialogue·Wuhan, city leaders from across five continents toured the Yangtze Finless Porpoise Breeding and Conservation Center, gaining first-hand insight into ongoing efforts to safeguard the species and restore the river's ecological health. The visit — from the steady recovery of the finless porpoise to broader biodiversity conservation — prompted meaningful reflections on how modern cities can strike a balance between economic vitality and environmental stewardship.
