On this year session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Baku, Azerbaijan's capital, China added 2 new sites to it's already long list of World Heritage Sites. China's Migratory Bird Sanctuaries along the coast of the Yellow Sea-Bohai Gulf (Phase I) is the country's 54th World Heritage site, 14th natural World Heritage site and the country's first and the world's second intertidal mud flat heritage site.
This card was sent by Wei.
Every year, thousands of migratory birds, especially shorebirds, make stopovers, breed or winter on the intertidal wetlands of Coast of the Yellow Sea-Bohai Gulf. The red-crowned crane, spoon-billed sandpiper, Nordmann's greenshank and Saunders's gull are endangered migratory birds that will now be better protected.
The Phase I site, covers most of the Yancheng Wetland Rare Birds National Nature Reserve, the Dafeng Milu National Nature Reserve and intertidal mud flats facing the Yellow Sea in the cities of Yancheng and Dongtai in Jiangsu province. - in: www.chinadaily.com.cn
