The 8th "World Wildlife Day" fell on March 3, 2021. To further promote the concept of eco-civilization and keep enhancing the society's recognition of the importance of wildlife protection, the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Planning joined hands with the Jingzhou District People's Government to deliver 2021 Jingzhou "World Wildlife Day" Event at Lingjiao Lake National Wetland Park on March 2.

The event is themed "Advancing Green Development, Promoting the Harmony of Man and Nature". By setting up display boards and handing out manuals, the staff introduced wildlife protection to citizens, as well as teachers and students from Mashan Primary School. The students read the initiative on "wildlife protection", autographed the background and had a group photo before it.
