Move over, concrete jungles – Beijing’s hidden wildlife wonders are stealing the spotlight! 🎥 British naturalist Terry Townshend, a long-time Beijing resident, is revealing the capital’s thriving biodiversity to global audiences through his conservation work.
Since settling in the city, Terry has documented over 500 bird species fluttering through Beijing’s skies – from rare cranes to vibrant kingfishers. This November, he led an international team to Yanqing’s Guanting Reservoir, where migratory birds are making their annual pitstop. 🛬
"When people discover nature’s magic right outside their windows, they become its fiercest protectors," Terry told us, binoculars in hand.
His message resonates in 2025 as China accelerates eco-friendly urban planning. Young conservationists across Asia are taking notes – proving that cities and wildlife can thrive together. 🌆💚
