Desert rest as birds flock to warmer winter
Print Edition
Droves of migratory birds have made stopovers at wetlands in the Ulan Buh Desert, the eighth-largest desert in China, as they begin their journey south to get through the winter.
More than 3,000 migratory birds such as white swans have arrived at a lake in Dengkou County in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, according to the county鈥檚 forest public security bureau.
The Ulan Buh Desert covers 1 million hectares, with nearly one-third of its area in Dengkou. With more than 160 natural lakes, the county is an important habitat for migratory birds in Inner Mongolia.
Ma Xuexian, a forest police officer in Dengkou County, said they have reinforced patrols around key water areas and nature reserves to prevent human activities from interfering with the birds, in hopes that the place would become a long-term habitat for the rare birds.
With the improvement of the local ecology every year, hundreds of thousands of migratory birds have made Dengkou a migratory station.
