The area of the Yinchuan Wetland Park was once a place that people disliked: waste water caused terrible smells and almost no grass could grow on the land. Now, it not only becomes a popular place for people to take a walk, but also a good place for birds and other animals.
Li Zhijun is a member of a bird protecting organisation. He saw the great changes at the park. According to him, the Yinchuan Wetland Park has become a famous place for bird photographers. More birds would like to stay here in winter.
Besides Ningxia, many cities in China make great efforts to protect wetlands. Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei Province, is known as a “city of a hundred lakes”. The city has five large wetland reserves(保护区). Tens of thousands of birds come to stay in winter.
Panjin in Liaoning Province is another surprising wetland city. In the past, the city had a lot of environmental problems because of oil production. But now in the wetlands by the sea, seagrass turns red every autumn, creating beautiful “red beaches”.
A local fishery worker said, “In the past, there were almost no wild fish. Thanks to the efforts of Panjin people, now the wetland is back again!”
