A mama mallard and her fluffy brood have become the internet’s newest eco-celebrities after paddling through Beijing’s Central Green Forest Park – a shiny symbol of urban renewal! 🎥 Locals snapped photos of the ducklings gliding across what was once contaminated land from a chemical factory, now transformed into lush wetlands.
This park isn’t just a cute backdrop for duck selfies 📸. It’s part of Beijing’s push to rewild the city, turning industrial relics into green lungs that fight pollution and boost biodiversity. Over 200 plant species now thrive here, creating habitats for birds, insects, and yes – photogenic waterfowl!
🌳 500+ acres of reclaimed green space
🦆 Native species returning after decades
🌿 92% reduction in soil toxins since 2018
\"It’s like nature hit the reset button,\" said park visitor Li Mei, 24. \"Last summer, we saw fireflies here for the first time in 30 years!\" 🔥🐞 With weekend visitor numbers doubling since 2022, this eco-makeover success story proves that concrete jungles can bloom again – one duckling paddle at a time.
