A black-necked crane keeps its baby warm under its body while the other remains vigilant 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.

Lynx At Andujar Natural Park - Spain

A lynx in Cortijo Gato Clavo, on November 8, 2024, in the Sierra de Andujar Natural Park, Jaen, Andalusia, Spain. In June 2024, the total number of lynx in the Iberian Peninsula exceeded 2000 specimens, thus ceasing to be an "endangered" species and becoming "vulnerable". In any case, this figure is still far from reaching the number of specimens between 3000-5000 to reach a viable population in its entirety and out of danger to be in a favorable conservation status, according to European regulations. Among the threats to the lynx are the decrease in the populations of wild rabbits, which make up 90% of its diet, the increasing number of road killings and poaching. Every year in Spain, 100 lynxes are killed by road kill or killed by hunting, poisons or traps. Photo by Rafael Bastante/Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM
