There
are many wetlands(湿地)in China and some of them have become the world's important
wetlands. The Chinese Yellow, Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng,
Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals.
The world's largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(自然保护区) 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 Cranes 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(野生动物). Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals
and birds 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 buildings. This
means there will be less 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. (red-crowned crane)
