Northern China’s Baiyangdian Lake is buzzing with wings and songs 🎶! Over 276 wild bird species have been recorded here as of February 2024—up by 70 species since 2017, when the Xiongan New Area launched eco-conservation efforts. Talk about a nature glow-up! 🌿
Among the feathered VIPs are 12 first-class nationally protected birds like the ultra-rare Baer’s pochard and the striking great bustard. Even whooper swans (48 second-class protected species) are flocking in! 🦅
Local eco-warriors aren’t winging it: Nine dedicated habitats now safeguard birds, while smart tech tracks their movements. 'We’re rewilding with purpose,' says Anxin County’s Tian Yongchang. 🛠️
This wetland revival proves that when conservation takes flight, biodiversity soars. Who’s ready for a birdwatching roadtrip? 🚗💨
