▌ "Bird Paradise" Chongming Dongtan is applying for a world heritage
※The 41st Shanghai "Bird Love Week" kicked off on August 20. The reporter learned from the Shanghai Green City Appearance Department that since this century, more and more birds have patronized and favored Shanghai, and by the end of 2021, the number of wild bird species recorded in Shanghai has reached 516 species, accounting for 35.7% of the number of bird species in the country. Among them, there are 26 species of wildlife protected at the national level and 91 species of wild animals under national second-level protection; There are 6 species of critically endangered species, 8 endangered species and 25 vulnerable species listed on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List of Threatened Species.
Birds favor Shanghai, in part because of the increasing improvement of Shanghai's ecological environment. Located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Shanghai is an important transit point on the East Asia-Australasian migratory bird migration route, and the coastal tidal wetlands provide an important wintering place and resting place for migratory birds. Chongming Dongtan Conservation Area is located at the southern edge of the Yellow Sea Ecological Zone, which is the middle node of the Migratory Bird East Asia-Australasia Migration Zone. At present, Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve has officially become the nomination site for the World Natural Heritage of the Yellow (Bohai) Sea Migratory Bird Habitat (Phase II) in China, and the work of declaring natural heritage is being carried out in an orderly manner. In 2023, the World Heritage Assembly will consider a new batch of World Heritage nomination sites, and Chongming Dongtan is likely to become shanghai's first World Heritage Site.
By the end of last year, Shanghai's forest coverage rate had increased from 3% at the end of the last century to more than 18%, with 532 parks of various types. Shanghai is also making every effort to promote the planning and construction of the Ring City Ecological Park Belt, and there will be 50 parks (also known as the Ring Park) on the Ring City Ecological Park Belt alone, 14 of which have been built, and 36 will be upgraded and renovated.
In recent years, in addition to the Chongming Dongtan National Nature Reserve, Jiuduansha Wetland National Nature Reserve, Nanhui Dongtan, Fengxian Biantan and other bird habitats, Shanghai has also actively promoted the construction of wildlife habitat projects, and many habitats such as Wusongjiang Bird Habitat, Pudong Offshore Wetland Park, and Jiading Pengmen Wetland have gradually become paradises for birds and other wild animals.
More birds have been observed and recorded in Shanghai, in addition to Shanghai's continuous strengthening of ecological environment construction and wildlife resources protection, but also thanks to the joint efforts of several generations of bird researchers in the past hundred years. Especially after entering this century, the number of bird watching enthusiasts has increased significantly, and the technology of equipment has improved, making birds that have never been recorded before easier to observe and record.
