They Together Protect a River, New Era China Research Tour - Yangtze River Chapter | From Qinghai to Shanghai Metropolis | Kekexili | Yangtze River
Qinghai, Shanghai
The place where the Yangtze River originates and the endpoint where it flows into the sea
From the snowy plateau to the azure sea
The unremitting exploration of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature
It is being staged at the beginning and end of the Yangtze River
"Zhi Duo"
In Tibetan, it means the source of the Yangtze River
Zhiduo County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province
Known as the "Number One County on the Yangtze River for Thousands of Miles"

With magnificent glaciers and trickling water
Tibetan antelopes and other high-altitude creatures run freely here
People who still use their lives to guard this pure land

Mountain Patrol Team
It will also start the busiest mountain patrol mission
Luo Yanhai cannot forget
1980s
The sound of poaching guns shattered the tranquility of Kekexili
The population of Tibetan antelopes has sharply decreased
Less than 20000 at one point
In 1994, Jason Sonandajie, then Deputy Secretary of the Zhiduo County Committee
In a struggle against poachers
Brave sacrifice
Step by step, day by day
The mountain patrol carries the heroic legacy
Guarding Kekexili
To rescue stranded and injured Tibetan antelope cubs
With the help of various sectors of society
A "Tibetan Antelope Kindergarten" has been established
The mountain patrol team carefully takes care of the healthy growth of the Tibetan antelope

nowadays
This fragile Pure Land has not heard the sound of poaching guns for over a decade
Tibetan antelopes have grown to over 70000
The degree of threat has decreased from "endangered" to "near threatened"
Rushing 6300 kilometers
Arriving at the estuary of the Yangtze River
International metropolis Shanghai
Dense population, every inch of land is worth it
Many people don't know
There is also a "migratory bird paradise" here
There are many "wild residents" living here
Shanghai Chongming Dongtan
It's on the East Asia Australia migratory bird migration route
A "supply station" related to the survival of migratory birds
Bird ranger Jin Weiguo here
Can blow out dozens of bird calls
Has the ability to "converse" with birds

Who could have thought of it
This bird guardian at the end of the Yangtze River
Once made a living by catching birds
1970s
Invasive species with well-developed root systems and strong vitality
Massively encroaching on the living space of other organisms
To protect bird habitats
Shanghai has established a bird nature reserve
Investing huge amounts of money to control invasive alien species
Simultaneously vigorously crack down on illegal hunting of wild birds
Lao Jin "switches careers" to become a bird guard
Under his persuasion
Several bird catchers have also joined the bird protection team
Jointly guarding the little creatures in the big city
Outside the protected area
The urban environment in Shanghai is gradually recovering
Public green space

Increase from "one pair of shoes" per person to "one room"
Initiate the restoration project for extremely small populations
Reintroduce wild animals such as deer, Yangtze alligator, and elk
The smiling finless porpoise reappears at the mouth of the Yangtze River
The adorable raccoons settle down in the park
The "wild residents" who left due to urban development have returned
Little swans wintering in the Chongming Dongtan Nature Reserve in Shanghai
Reaching nearly 3000 during peak hours
Increase by dozens of times compared to the minimum
Residing at the head of the Yangtze River
I live at the end of the Yangtze River
Whether it's the original ecology that has always been protected
Or the ecological transformation of big cities
Ultimately, it reflects the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature
Head to tail connection
