After the ten-year fishing ban, the ecological environment of Poyang Lake area has improved significantly, and more and more rare migratory birds have flown to Poyang Lake. According to statistics, more than 80% of the world's oriental white storks winter in Poyang Lake every year. It is understood that the water level of Poyang Lake is low this year, and Duchang County has taken a number of measures to protect the wetlands and migratory bird resources in the Poyang Lake area, so that migratory birds can often come and reside, and ensure that rare migratory birds and birds winter safely.
