Environmental education is one of the important and effective approaches to solve environmental problems and to protect biodiversity. It is significant to discuss the theory of Environmental Education for Biodiversity Conservation (EEFBC), and to build a multi-dimensional system for implementing EEFBC towards sustainable development in the special Chinese context for the whole society. Four dimensions, from the perspective of education delivery, should be respected. They are (1) temporal dimension: a lifelong education penetrating from the beginning to the end of life; (2) spatial dimension: education for all and at three levels, namely school, family and society; (3) modality dimension: whole process of education, covering formal and informal education system; (4) institution dimension: translate compliance into self-awareness.
