In the past few days, at Honghu National Nature Reserve, flocks of swans came to spend the winter as expected.

In recent years, Jingzhou has stepped up efforts to protect natural resources by gradually improving the ecological function of wetlands, and creating comfortable, safe and food-rich habitats for wildlife, thus achieving significant results in biodiversity conservation.

Honghu's wetlands are important places of wintering, migration and resting for winter birds, as well as habitats for summer birds. There are currently more than one million birds of over 130 species in these places.
