Black-necked cranes take turns to take care of their baby at a wetland in Xainza County of Nagqu City, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, June 4, 2025. As an important part of the world's ecosystem, wetland plays a huge role in many aspects including ecology, environment, economy and society. Known as an extra lung for Londoners, the London Wetland Centre is an urban ecological paradise transformed from industrial wasteland on the banks of the River Thames. The site was formerly four reservoirs operated by the Thames Water Company, which supplied drinking water to the southwest of London. The London Wetland Centre began construction in 1995 and was completed and opened to the public in 2000. Visitors to the centre can observe numerous endangered bird species, with over 200 species observed and recorded in the area, embodying a harmonious balance between urban life and nature. The unique geographical environment of Xizang nurtures distinct biological communities, housing many rare species. In efforts
