The Nandagang Migratory Bird Habitat in China’s Hebei Province just scored a major win for wildlife lovers! This 7,500-hectare coastal wetland—now part of UNESCO’s World Heritage List—is a pitstop for 271 bird species, including rare ones like black-faced spoonbills and red-crowned cranes.
Think of it as the ultimate rest area on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, a bird highway stretching from the Arctic to Australia. Every spring and fall, flocks stop here to refuel during their marathon migrations. Imagine swapping shifts with fellow travelers every 5-10 days—that’s how birds roll here!
Conservation wins are soaring too! Recent wetland restoration efforts have turned Nandagang into a five-star avian resort, proving that eco-action works.
