Meet the unsung heroes keeping skies balanced: raptors! These birds of prey aren’t just majestic flyers—they’re crucial for controlling pest populations and protecting ecosystems. But what happens when heat waves hit? Enter the Beijing Raptor Rescue Center, a wildlife rehab powerhouse co-founded by the International Fund for Animal Welfare and Beijing Normal University.
Since 2001, this center has saved over 5,825 raptors—and summer 2023 is no exception. To beat the heat, they’ve rolled out creative solutions: outdoor sprinkler systems turn enclosures into mini water parks , while chilled water basins let kestrels and eagle owls splash like they’re at a pool party. Bonus? Rehab experts serve protein-packed meals like bee pupae stuffed in pine cones to boost immunity. Talk about a gourmet survival kit!
Why does this matter? Healthy raptors mean healthier ecosystems—and smarter climate resilience. Next time you spot a hawk soaring, remember: behind every wingspan is a team working overtime to keep nature’s guardians flying high.
