Many birds live in Zhalong all year round, while some go there only for a short stay.
Some people want to make the wetlands smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings.
Moreover, fishermen keep fishing there.
As a result, the birds do not have enough food to eat.
We hope this will help people understand the importance of the wetlands.
