These fossils, dating back approximately 530 million years, are key evidence for understanding the rapid diversification of life. The site exhibits fossils of up to 196 species spanning at least 16 categories, ranging from algae to primitive chordates, encompassing almost all major animal groups' origins. To protect and study these valuable fossils, the local government established the Chengjiang Fossil Natural History Museum. The museum features an online digital exhibition hall, with over 200 video clips narrating the stories of fossil discoveries and life evolution for the public. The research conducted at the Chengjiang Fossil Site has significantly contributed to enhancing our understanding of early life development while also contributing significantly to achieving the SDGs. Specifically, it supports SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 15 (Ecosystems and Biodiversity Conservation) by emphasizing the importance of preserving Earth's biodiversity through educational and research activities.
