The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are
home for many different kinds of animals. The world's largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More
than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every
winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and
sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering (提供) food and home for some special
kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important
because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for
farms and less space for wildlife.
Luckily , more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife . Every
year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in north-east China. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands. The reserve covers an area of 210,000 hectares. The area provides food and shelter for wildlife. It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds.
Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay there for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong has long been called “the home of the crane”. There are 15 crane species (物种) in the world. 8 of them are in China and there are 6 species in Zhalong area. It is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. Every spring and summer, red-crowned cranes lay and hatch (孵化) their eggs in Zhalong.
Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife. More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, and they can be safe in Zhalong.
Every year, a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year, members of our Bird-watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers. The study begins next month.
We _______ once a year. We are now inviting secondary school students to help. We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds.
Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands. We hope this information will help them understand and make them actively take action to protect wildlife.
