The tiger roars in the mountains and forests, and the leopard walks in the green river
In recent years, the news of Siberian tigers and Siberian leopards being "encountered" in many places in Jilin Province has continued to blow up online platforms such as Douyin, Kuaishou, and Weibo, and often appear on hot searches.
Many netizens praised it, saying that the gratifying scene of "beating roe deer and scooping fish, pheasants flying into the rice pot" in the past is reappearing.
The reappearance of the forest scene in the Tiger Roaring Mountains is due to the efforts of Jilin Province in recent years to protect wildlife and restore their habitats.
Today, the biodiversity of Jilin Province has been fully protected, and flagship wildlife species such as Siberian tigers, Siberian leopards, white cranes, and Chinese mergansers have frequently appeared. Sables, black bears, brown bears, red-crowned cranes, Oriental white storks, tiger eagles, golden eagles and other national key protected wild animals also often appear in mountains, jungles or wetland waterfronts.
On December 1, 2023, the "Regulations on the Protection of Terrestrial Wild Animals in Jilin Province" was voted and passed by the seventh meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th Provincial People's Congress.
The promulgation of this regulation marks a new step in the protection of wild animals in Jilin Province in accordance with the law.
The water is clear and the green migratory birds are coming
Starting in the spring of 2023, the staff of the Chagan Lake National Nature Reserve Administration in Jilin Province have successively discovered that the Oriental White Stork, a national first-class protected animal, has made its nest around Chagan Lake.
The Oriental White Stork has strict requirements for the living environment, and is regarded as an indicator of the quality of the wetland environment, and is known as the "indicator species" of the wetland ecological environment. A large number of Oriental white storks inhabit and breed in Chagan Lake, which is the best example of the continuous improvement of the ecological environment of Chagan Lake.
In recent years, Songyuan City has focused on ecological governance around Chagan Lake, and has successively planned and implemented 76 ecological restoration and governance projects, with a total investment of 7.338 billion yuan, and a total of 79,700 mu of forests, wetlands and grasslands, the water quality of the entire reservoir area has been improved and stabilized from Class V to Class IV, and the number of rare bird species has increased from 239 to 276 species.
With the continuous optimization of the ecological environment, not only the Oriental White Stork, but also more and more birds have stopped in Chagan Lake, and in the past few years, the number of rare birds in Chagan Lake has increased from 239 to 276 species, and the number of habitats has also doubled.
Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet
In the early spring of another year, in March, the Chinese merganser duck conservation base at the Toudao Station of Changbai Mountain National Nature Reserve is about to start welcoming the Chinese mergansers who have migrated back from the wintering ground.
The Chinese merganser duck is a relict species of the Tertiary glacial period, which has lived for more than 10 million years, and is known as the "living fossil among birds" and "giant panda among birds", and is a globally endangered species.
The Chinese merganser is very picky about its living environment and is regarded as an important indicator species of the water ecological environment.
How did Jilin get its favor?
In recent years, the Changbai Mountain Protection and Development Zone has strictly implemented the system of river and lake chiefs and forest chiefs, implemented ecological protection and restoration projects for mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses, carried out forest protection and tending, and the forest coverage rate of the reserve exceeded 95%.
Jilin Province has also implemented the "Settlement Project" of Chinese mergansers, which has applied the monitoring information system of Chinese mergansers in the province to monitor population dynamics, and has taken the lead in launching a three-year simultaneous survey of waterbirds during the migration period in the country.
In 2023, more than 600 Chinese mergansers were found to be monitored, and the average number of white cranes that stopped to feed in the central and western regions of Jilin in spring and autumn reached 2,000, and more than 1.5 million waterbirds of 102 species were recorded throughout the year.
At this year's two sessions, the government work report proposed: the implementation of major projects for biodiversity conservation.
In the 2024 Jilin Provincial Government Work Report, it is proposed to strengthen the protection and restoration of ecosystems.
We will build the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, do a good job in the preliminary work for the establishment of the Songnen Hexiang National Park, promote the protection and restoration of internationally important wetlands such as Xianghai and Momog, and accelerate the construction of protection and restoration projects in the important headwaters of the Yalu River;
