(220921) -- HEFEI, Sept. 21, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Combo photo shows an aerial view of a boat sailing on the Chaohu Lake on Sept. 6, 2022 (upper) and a boat sailing on the Chaohu Lake in Hefei City, east China's Anhui Province, June 9, 2012. As the fifth-largest freshwater lake in China, Chaohu Lake is known as the "kidney" of the Yangtze River.
In recent years, Hefei City, where Chaohu Lake is located, has taken a slew of measures to strengthen the protection of wetlands around the lake, including banning fishing, land reclamation and waste dumping in designated protected zones.
Changes are happening around this freshwater lake, with more rare and endangered species inhabiting its surrounding wetlands. (Xinhua/Liu Junxi)
