Hey nature lovers! 🌎 Did you hear? Beijing's buzzing with new feathered friends! 🐦✨
According to the Beijing Municipal Forestry and Parks Bureau, the number of terrestrial wildlife species in the city has soared from 608 to 612. And guess what? All four newbies are birds! Say hello to the black baza, the Oriental magpie-robin, the black-throated bushtit, and the Himalayan cuckoo. 🕊️🎶
Beijing sits right along the epic bird migration route between East Asia and Australasia. That means our capital's become a hotspot for rare and endangered birds like the oriental stork, Chinese merganser, and white-tailed sea eagle during this spring's migration. Talk about VIP guests! 🦅🌸
This wildlife boom shows off Beijing's awesome ecological upgrades. Over the years, the city’s been super busy expanding protected areas like forests, wetlands, and geological parks. Now, over 90% of major wildlife and their habitats are chillin' under this protective umbrella! 🌳💚
So next time you're out and about in Beijing, keep your eyes peeled—you might spot some of these amazing creatures! 📸👀
