(240409) -- PANJIN, April 9, 2024 (Xinhua) -- An aerial drone photo taken on April 9, 2024 shows spotted seals resting on mudflat of Liaodong Bay in Panjin City, northeast China's Liaoning Province. As temperature rises, spotted seals inhabiting the Liaodong Bay in Panjin City, Liaoning Province, are entering their active period. Liaodong Bay, which is situated at the northernmost end of the ice-covered area in Chinese waters, represents the southernmost breeding area among the eight breeding zones for spotted seals worldwide. Designated as a national first-level protected wildlife species, spotted seals are the only pinniped marine mammals that breed in Chinese waters. In recent years, Panjin City has committed to preserving the ecological balance of its coastal areas, restoring 85,900 mu (approximately 5,727 hectares) of coastal wetlands and adding 17.6 kilometers of natural coastline. These efforts have created favorable breeding and habitat conditions for spotted seals migrating to the area annual

    CHINA-SHANXI-YUNCHENG-SALT LAKE-ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION (CN)

    (240614) -- TAIYUAN, June 14, 2024 (Xinhua) -- An aerial drone photo taken on April 30, 2024 shows a renovation project site of Yuncheng Salt Lake in the city of Yuncheng, north China's Shanxi Province. Yuncheng Salt Lake, known as the "Dead Sea of China," is one of three inland salt lakes with sodium sulfate in the world, covering an area of 132 square km. It once served as a salt production base. To better protect the lake's ecology, industrial production activities in the lake area have been completely terminated, and restoration works such as embankment renovation, dredging, and flood prevention have been carried out. Meanwhile, a protective regulation issued a few years ago has not only provided a basis for the lake's protection, but also extended the protection scope to ecological, natural, and cultural resources. Nowadays, the salt lake has been striving to transform into a tourist landmark and an ecological reserve, embracing new opportunities in the process of development. (Photo by Yan Xin/Xin
