In a win for wildlife conservation, 16 Dalmatian pelicans—among China’s most protected bird species—were recently spotted in the Urad Grassland of Inner Mongolia! 🌍 This marks the highest number recorded in the area’s Hongxi Reservoir in years, signaling a major eco-comeback.
The pelicans, usually found in coastal Europe and Asia, are thriving here thanks to stricter conservation efforts and greener policies. 💚 Local herdsmen are also stepping up, with many joining initiatives to protect these majestic birds and their habitats.
\"The surge in pelican numbers reflects our grassland’s improving health,\" said Su Jun, director of the Urad Back Banner’s grassland administration. Talk about a nature glow-up! 🌱
