北依秦岭，南屏巴山，陕西省汉中市洋县被称为"朱鹮之乡"。 暮色将至，蒙蒙细雨中，记者跟随陕西汉中朱鹮国家级自然保护区管理局的几名工作人员，在一处朱鹮 野外夜宿地，等待着朱鹮归巢。 很快，一群长喙凤冠、红首白羽，被誉为"东方宝石"的朱鹮，掠过湖面，飞向湖心小岛，栖于茂密树枝 上。 朱鹮是鸟类的"活化石"，有着6500万年的生存史。上世纪中叶，由于栖息环境遭到破坏，朱鹮种群数量 急剧减少。1981年，科研工作者在洋县姚家沟发现了世界上仅存的7只野生朱鹮。经过40多年的保护， 朱鹮种群日益壮大。 "朱鹮的生存繁衍，依赖湿地生态系统和森林生态系统。多年来，我们逐步探索出系统保护模式——就 地保护为主、易地保护为辅、野化放归扩群、科技攻关支撑、政府社会协同，实现人鹮和谐共生。"陕 西汉中朱鹮国家级自然保护区管理局原副局长路宝忠介绍，目前，全球朱鹮种群数量已突破1.1万只。 严格的生态保护举措，为当地有机农业发展创造了良好的环境。行走在洋县的田间地头，处处可见"有 机"二字。据介绍，洋县认证有机产品15大类115种，有机生产基地面积居全省第一，生产加工企业43 户，有机产业产值达55亿元以上。 (责编：卫嘉、白宇) 守绿 ...

"遂川千年鸟道"位于江西湖南两省交界处的罗霄山脉中段。每年秋季，数百万只候鸟途径这里南迁，就像候鸟用翅膀开辟出的"空中迁徙公 路"。 然而二三十年前，这里曾密密麻麻分布着数百个打鸟点。70岁的江西省遂川县营盘圩乡桐古村村民曾昭明说，以前有的村民把一片山坡上的 树木砍光，在夜晚点起篝火利用鸟类的趋光性捕鸟。部分山岗上树木所剩无几，捕鸟网却层层叠叠。 "以前村民生活条件差，有靠山吃山的传统观念，随着生活质量提升，越来越多人意识到保生态就是保后代的好生活。"曾昭明的儿子曾宪财 也曾是一名"打鸟人"，他说，村民主动交出鸟铳、捕鸟网等工具，他自己也加入江西省遂川县营盘圩鸟类环志站成为一名护鸟员。 护鸟是门技术活也是体力活，曾宪财一天的巡山步数往往有数万步。村里组建了义务护鸟队，日常巡逻打击偷猎行为时，偶尔也会遇到需要 救助的被困候鸟。 其中让他印象最深刻的是一只鹭鸟。曾宪财说，他父亲把这只受伤的鹭鸟救下来后，在自家鱼塘喂养了它半个月。等这只鹭鸟养好伤离开 时，还绕鱼塘转了三圈才飞进大山，如同和老朋友依依不舍告别。 江西南风面国家级自然保护区工作人员正在对候鸟进行环志。新华社发（方院新摄） 近年来，当地生态保护举措不断完 ...
