CBCGDF Guanghan Egret Conservation Area Attracts 12 More New Bird Species this year

China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation(CBCGDF)  Hangul Egret Community Conservation Area(CCAfa) located in Shuangfu Village, Nanfeng Town, Guanghan City, Sichuan Province is a dense jungle. Under the protection of Mr. LIAO Fan, director of the CBCGDF Guanghan Egret Conservation Area and his family, it has gradually become a habitat for egrets and a variety of other creatures.



In 2021, 43 species of birds were recorded in this area, including plumbeous water-redstarts (Rhyacornis fuliginosus), little grebes (Tachybaptus ruficollis), Chinese bulbuls (Pycnonotus sinensis), and white-rumped munias  ( Lonchura striata). In 2022, 26 new species of birds were added, including glossy ibis (Plegadis falcinellus), speckled piculets (Picumnus innominatus), and goldfinches(Chloris sinica).

 


According to observation records, this year CBCGDF Guanghan Egret CCAfa attracts 12 new bird species due to its better environment, including Parus minor, collared finchbills (Spizixos semitorques), long-billed plovers(Charadrius placidus), Anthus roseatus, common snipes(Gallinago gallinago), crested mynas (Acridotheres cristatellus), brown-rumped minivets (Pericrocotus cantonensis), verditer flycatchers (Eumyias thalassinus), Pericrocotus, black-naped orioles (Oriolus chinensis) and grey-headed canary-flycats (Culicicapa ceylonensis).

 

The number of birds living in the conservation areas is increasing year by year. Based on the survey results of the previous two years, a total of 80 species of birds were recorded in the past three years. In order to let more people understand the importance of protecting the ecological environment, Mr. Liao also regularly invites children to study, let them know and understand nature through observation, painting, etc., and cultivate their love for life and the ability to protect the biodiversity.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
