Winter just got feathery fabulous in Yinjiang! Over 100 mandarin ducks—China’s dazzling second-class protected birds—have flocked to reservoirs in southwest China’s Guizhou Province, up from just a handful last year. 🌊✨
Locals are rolling out the red carpet for these colorful guests, protecting their habitats and ensuring safe wintering grounds. Known for their vibrant plumage and symbolism of love in East Asian culture, the ducks’ rebound signals a win for grassroots conservation. 🛡️❤️
\"Seeing so many return feels like nature’s applause,\" shared a Yinjiang resident. The surge highlights how community efforts can revive biodiversity—a lesson as refreshing as Guizhou’s mountain air. 🏞️💪
