Yalu River welcomes phenomenal bird migration

The Yalu River estuary bird habitat is located within the Yalu River Estuary Wetland National Nature Reserve, characterized by both continental and marine climate features. It nurtures a complex ecosystem of inland wetlands, coastal wetlands and marine ecology, supporting 324 species of birds, according to Lei Guangchun, a professor from Beijing Forestry University.

The Yalu River estuary bird habitat provides a critical source of food for 200,000 to 400,000 migratory birds each year, serving as an important resting and refueling station for migratory birds.
