[Commentary] In Jilin City, Jilin Province, every spring is a good time to photograph birds. Recently, some photography enthusiasts have discovered that some unique "ducks" appear on the Songhua River passing through the city. They have white foreheads, red eyes, and distinctive features. Identified by the local animal protection department and experts, it turns out that these mysterious visitors who swim and prey on the river surface are known as "the most swimming chickens"-bone-top chickens.
Jilin City, known as the "Chemical City", is the cradle of the new China's chemical industry. There are more than a thousand large-scale chemical installations in the local area. In recent years, Jilin City has continued to reduce chemical pollutants, continuously shut down high-energy-consuming and high-pollution chemical equipment, and strictly prevent excessive sewage from flowing into the Songhua River ... A series of strict measures have transformed this "chemical city" into " ecological city".
[Same period] (Sun Yujiang, deputy director of Jilin Municipal Water Resources Bureau) For example, we used a third party to conduct a river-by-river inspection and found problems. At the same time, we also entrusted our design unit with drones to cruise through drones. At the same time, we also mobilized more manpower to use our work team to find problems.
[Explanation] As the environment continues to improve, more and more animals are attracted to live here, and the bone-bearing chickens widely distributed in Eurasia and Africa are obvious examples. In China, Bingding chickens live in the north during the breeding period, and moved to the south in late October for winter. Bone-crown chickens, which are good at diving and mainly feed on plants, are very rare in the Songhua River in Jilin City.
[Same period] (Sun Yujiang, deputy director of Jilin Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau) Guding chicken is one of our tens of thousands of waterbirds. It can be said that the water ecology is not good and it will not come. Jiang, the water quality of our mother river is getting better and better, and the ecology is getting better and better. In the next step we have to take many measures and practices to further improve our ecological environment.
[Explanation] Clear water and green belts and fresh air. The reporter walked by the Songhua River and felt that the green ecology has been integrated into the development of the city.
In recent years, Jilin City has made many efforts in the construction of migratory bird habitats. As China's first "civilized city that loves birds and protects birds", thousands of waterbirds live freely on Changbai Island on the local Songhua River. With the construction of the wetland water ecological restoration project of the Baihua Ecological Corridor Changbai Island Section of the Songhua River in Jilin City, the ecological environment will continue to improve.
[Same period] (Sun Yujiang, deputy director of Jilin Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau) So far, we have a total of 2563 river leaders in Jilin City, City, County, Township, and Village. These 2563 river leaders are the guardians of our river health At the same time, each of our rivers is also equipped with corresponding river patrol and cleaning staff, and also equipped with the corresponding sergeant, which constitutes a working system.
