Core Viewpoint - Guangdong wetlands have become a haven for migratory birds, with significant increases in various protected species, showcasing the region's ecological improvements and biodiversity efforts [3][5][24]. Group 1: Migratory Bird Population - The peak wintering period for migratory birds has been observed in Guangzhou Nansha Wetland, with thousands of birds including cormorants, herons, and ducks present [2][3]. - A total of 88 species of wintering waterbirds have been monitored across the province, amounting to approximately 129,000 individuals, an increase of nearly 15,000 from the previous year [4][35]. - The populations of key protected species such as the Eastern White Stork, Black-faced Spoonbill, and Chinese Merganser have tripled compared to 2024 [5][35]. Group 2: Ecological Environment - Nansha Wetland serves as a crucial stopover for migratory birds along the East Asia-Australasia flyway, providing a rich ecological environment with abundant food sources [9][10]. - The wetland is home to over 30,000 resident birds year-round, with wintering migratory birds exceeding 100,000, representing more than half of Guangzhou's total migratory bird population [10][11]. - The unique geographical and ecological conditions of Nansha Wetland have led to the establishment of a comprehensive habitat for migratory birds, including areas for feeding, nesting, and recreation [14][15]. Group 3: Conservation Efforts - The Nansha Wetland has implemented a scientific zoning plan to enhance the living conditions for migratory birds, focusing on food, shelter, and recreational areas [14][15]. - A specialized plan for the protection and restoration of mangroves has been established, expanding the total area of mangroves to 198.18 hectares, making it the largest distribution area in Guangzhou [19][20]. - Guangdong has launched the "Guangdong Migratory Bird and Migration Corridor Protection Action Plan (2023-2035)" to strengthen the protection of bird species and their habitats, resulting in an increase in recorded wild bird species from 507 in 2001 to 584 today [33][34].
