To accurately monitor the status of these overwintering waterbirds, Yongjing has launched the 2026 synchronized waterbird monitoring initiative, systematically documenting the species, population numbers, and habitat distribution of waterbirds within the county. The data collected will provide a crucial scientific foundation for mapping local wintering bird resources, establishing robust monitoring records, and informing the development of targeted conservation strategies.
The arrival of whooper swans and smews is ecologically significant. As environmental "indicator species", they have stringent requirements for water quality, climate, and food resources in their habitats. Their presence is a direct testament to the success of Yongjing county's ecological restoration efforts and reflects the sustained health of its river and lake ecosystems.
