    CHINA-FUJIAN-MIGRATORY BIRDS (CN)

    (231119) -- QUANZHOU, Nov. 19, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Nov. 18, 2023 shows the Quanzhou Bay estuary wetland in southeast China's Fujian Province. Flocks of migratory birds have made stopovers in Fuzhou, Quanzhou and other areas in Fujian Province, as they make their way toward the south to get through the winter. Among them, the number of rare birds, such as black-faced spoonbills and spoon-billed sandpipers which are under first-class national protection in China, continues to increase. In recent years, Fujian Province has launched a series of ecological rehabilitation projects to strengthen efforts in wetlands protection, riverway management, marine litter treatment and forest vegetation restoration. With the continuous improvement in ecological environment, Fujian Province attracts a large number of migratory birds to come here for wintering and breeding every year. (Xinhua/Wei Peiquan)

      (231118) -- TIANJIN, Nov. 18, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This combo photo shows staff members releasing oriental white storks into the wild at Qilihai Wetland in north China's Tianjin, Nov. 18, 2023. A total of 11 rescued oriental white storks and more than 100 other birds were released into the wild at Qilihai Wetland in north China's Tianjin on Saturday. The oriental white stork, a migratory bird under first-class state protection, has been listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. A dozen days ago, several oriental white storks were stranded amidst a cold wave that struck Jilin and were successfully rescued thereafter. Having missed the local migratory season, these birds were transfered to Tianjin and released into the wild there so that they might catch up with flocks of their kind. (Xinhua/Li Ran)
