I am a national first-class protected animal, the Hainan flounder (jiān), one of the 30 most endangered birds in the world, and because of its extreme rarity, I am also known as "the most mysterious bird in the world". In recent years, I have chosen the "ecological blessed land" Longyan as my habitat, and many bird watching enthusiasts have noticed my whereabouts because my wings reflect the light of Longyan ecological construction...

"Compared with previous years, the number of birds photographed has increased, the number of rare species has increased, the population has increased, and the shooting range has been expanded." This is the change that Zhang Min has felt since he photographed the bird.

General Secretary Xi Jinping is very concerned about attaching importance to the construction of ecological civilization in western Fujian, and personally painted and promoted the control of soil erosion in Changting and the reform of Wuping forest. Over the years, under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, the people of western Fujian have taken "ecological city" as one of the most important development strategies, persistently promoted the construction of ecological civilization, and achieved "high value" of ecological environment, "high quality" of economic development, and "high well-being" of people's livelihood improvement. With the improvement of ecology, the vast land of western Fujian has become a happy home for all things in harmony.

A large number of ecological civilization construction brands
and effective measures in our city to implement,
The quality of vegetation, air and water resources in the city has been further improved,
As a result, biodiversity continues to be enriched.
"At present, there are 563 species of vertebrates in 99 families and 303 genera in the city, including 18 species of national first-level protected animals and 69 species of second-level protected animals, accounting for more than 40% of the total number of the province; there are 2965 species of 1063 genera of 309 families and 1063 genera of higher plants containing subspecies and varieties, of which 7 species of national first-level protected plants and 20 species of second-level protected plants account for more than 50% of the total number of the province." Yuan Yongliang, director of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Station of Longyan City, introduced that the city has three national nature reserves of Meihua Mountain, Liangye Mountain and Tingjiangyuan and three national wetland parks of Changting Tingjiang, Wuping Zhongshanhe and Zhangping Nanyang, which are important carriers for building ecological civilization and are also ideal habitats for wild animals and plants.

In recent years, the city continues to strengthen the construction of nature reserves and wetland parks infrastructure and scientific research and education work, Tingjiangyuan Nature Reserve is the only area in Fujian Province since the development of wild animal infrared monitoring work to photograph the national second-level protected animal sambar deer live activities, Meihuashan South China Tiger Conservation Base has become the country's largest South China tiger breeding and rewilding training base. At the same time, special surveys of butterflies, medicinal plants, ferns, wild boars, birds and other special surveys and background surveys of wild plant resources have been carried out successively, and more species that have not been found before have been discovered. The habitat of these wild animals and plants has therefore been named "animal and plant resource gene bank", "natural green gene bank" and "wildlife refuge".

Biodiversity conservation requires the participation of all. In this regard, the city uses the "World Wetland Day", "World Wildlife Day", "Bird Love Week", "Wildlife Publicity Month" and other time nodes to carry out key publicity, relying on the Meihuashan Nature Education School, specially compiling and printing teaching materials to carry out publicity for primary and secondary school students. At the same time, we will carry out in-depth retirement of wild animal farms and the custody and rescue of wild animals, and severely crack down on illegal and criminal acts that destroy wild animal and plant resources such as indiscriminate hunting and indiscriminate mining and digging in accordance with the law.
For wildlife photography enthusiasts such as Zhang Min,
Changes in biodiversity are more intuitive.

On October 14, during the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment commended and awarded the fifth batch of national ecological civilization construction demonstration areas, and the city successfully entered the team of national ecological civilization construction demonstration areas. This is another golden signboard for the construction of ecological civilization obtained by our city, which will surely promote the city's biodiversity conservation work to achieve new results, and the picture of harmonious coexistence between people and nature in western Fujian will be more colorful!
