At the Beach in Weifang, Shandong, a Large Number of People Rush to the Sea to Dig Razor Clams | Should We Leave Some Food for Migratory Birds?

 In spring, migratory birds travel from the south to the north, flying thousands of miles. These creatures remaining in the ocean are one of the important food sources for these wild migratory birds. Although this move will not necessarily have a greater impact on the food sources of migratory birds, it is entirely possible that humans will excessively infringe on the feeding areas of wild migratory birds, which will affect the food sources of birds as well as their migration and resting time.


The relationship between humans and nature has always been a topic of great concern. We are part of nature, but in pursuing our own interests, have we neglected the importance of living in harmony with nature? Although these behaviors of digging razor clams seem to be just beach fun for people to satisfy their appetites, they may have an impact on the food sources of birds as well as their migration and resting due to excessive human intrusion into the feeding areas of wild migratory birds.

 

Migratory birds are part of nature, and their migration is of great significance to ecological balance. Although the behavior of digging razor clams in a small area will not threaten their food source, if this behavior is not controlled, it may become more and more serious in the future, and finally have an impact on the survival of migratory birds. These razor clam digging behaviors may not only damage the living environment of migratory birds, but also cause a chain reaction to the entire ecosystem.

 

In the process of realizing ecological civilization, we need to always adhere to the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, respect the laws of nature, protect the ecological environment, and leave a beautiful home for future generations. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of sustainable development, build a beautiful China, and build a better future in which man and nature coexist harmoniously.

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
