In Shanghai, Chongming, Jinshan, Songjiang, Qingpu, Fengxian and Pudong New Areas have implemented a global ban on hunting, reducing the human disturbance factor of the bird habitat. The natural ecological environment has been greatly improved, not only gathering thousands of birds, providing a good habitat for wild animals, but also providing a leisure place for citizens to get close to nature. in Baklin
