According to the staff, just as the so-called "autumn wind rises and the clouds fly, the grass and trees fall and the geese return south", the time for bird migration is coming, Zhongmu County is in the center of the middle line passage of the three major migratory bird migration channels on the mainland, and the surrounding large area of water, lake grass and wetlands provide an important breeding ground, wintering place or resting place for migratory birds, and a large number of birds inhabit and feed here every year.
The staff said that in the next step, we will increase protection efforts to ensure that migratory birds are not affected by human or other factors during the migration process, so that birds are more comfortable, birds are more civilized, and the world has more flexible figures.
Green ecology is the background color of a city, with the continuous advancement of ecological civilization construction in Zhongmu County and the ecological environment of the Yellow River getting better and better, it has successively attracted a large number of migratory birds to settle here. The arrival of birds not only decorates the city, but also enriches the biodiversity of Zhongmu, playing a song of life in which man and nature live in harmony. (Wang Junjie, Wang Junsheng/Wen Tu)
