Qin Yuan Becomes an Ideal Habitat for the Nationally Protected Black-Necked Crane

Recently, flocks of black-necked cranes have appeared in the Qin River, playing, soaring, pausing, or singing, presenting a beautiful spring landscape of mountains and rivers with birds and flowers under the setting sun. These days, black-necked cranes are in their breeding season, busy building nests and foraging, waiting for the arrival of their young.

Black-necked cranes are a first-level key protected animal in China and a rare bird. Because of their rarity, they are known as ‘bird pandas’. As a migratory bird, they are very demanding of their living environment. Good ecology, delicious aquatic plants, habitable environment, and friendly humans are all ideal habitats for them to stay for a long time. In the past two years, they have made Qin Yuan their home, building nests and breeding, and have no longer flown south. One, two, three… it has developed to hundreds of individuals.

The good or bad ecology depends only on the birds; Qin Yuan is good or bad, and there are birds everywhere. Black-necked cranes cannot speak, but they can call, they cannot express, but they choose. Their choices are the firm “two-pillar theory” of Qin Yuan.
