The annual avian rendezvous in Lijiang began again last month at Lashihai Plateau Wetland Nature Reserve, a scenic spot dubbed a "paradise for migratory birds "where more than 100,000 birds are observed every year. "After years of environmental protection efforts by the government and residents, the number of migratory birds is rising annually." In addition to undertaking patrol work, the reserve prohibits fishing and aquatic recreational activities, undertakes the detection and prevention of infectious diseases related to migratory birds, and builds wetland restoration areas to enlarge their habitats as part of efforts to protect birds and nature, according to the reserve administration.
