It's not every day that nature gives us something to celebrate! 🎉 In north China's Shanxi Province, the brown eared pheasant—a bird under first-class national protection—is making a stunning comeback.
According to a two-year survey conducted by Shanxi authorities, the population of these rare birds is steadily increasing, and they're spreading their wings to new areas.
The survey reveals that there are now approximately 19,000 brown eared pheasants fluttering about in Shanxi. These majestic birds have expanded their habitat to four geographical areas, notably Lyuliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain. That's right—they're now spotted across 45 counties and districts in eight cities throughout the province! 🗺️
For those not in the know, the brown eared pheasant is a big deal in China’s avian world. Sporting unique plumage and an elegant stance, they're one of the country's treasured birds. Their steady population growth is a positive sign for biodiversity and conservation efforts in the region. 🌳🌿
