摘要

Abstract

This paper comprehensively reviews the discovery of Chengjiang fossil site in Yunnan

China and its importance in the study of Cambrian life explosion. The detailed analysis of Chengjiang fossils reveals the diversity and adaptability of early Marine biota

providing valuable evidence for understanding the evolution history of life on Earth. The article also explores the conservation challenges of the site and strategies for its sustainable development

aiming to promote the organic combination of scientific research and tourism development of the paleontological site. In addition

it lists the discovery of Chengjiang fossil site and its research purpose

emphasizes its application potential in biotechnology and sustainable development

and points out the feasibility and challenge of the protection and sustainable development of the site in detail.
