Researchers Propose Protecting Migratory Bird Corridors

The Beijing Miyun Reservoir Management Office's ecology department is conducting nesting site improvements to enhance ecological functions. The number of bird species observed in the Beijing area has increased from 210 species in 2019 to 242 species last year. Authorities are using artificial intelligence monitoring systems and manual searches to strengthen monitoring. Regular patrols are conducted in bird islands, regulation pools, and reservoir areas to support habitat and breeding. Photographer Bai Zhihai was observed monitoring silver eagles during active morning hours. The Beijing Land Wildlife Registry 2025 edition recorded 527 bird species, an increase of 24 species compared to 2021. The 2025 edition of the Beijing Land-based Wild Animal List includes 527 bird species. The 2025 Beijing Terrestrial Wildlife Directory records 527 bird species in the city. A study led by Professor Deng Wenhong of Beijing Normal University's School of Life Sciences identified three main migratory bird corridors in Beijing. Researchers in Beijing have identified three distinct migratory bird corridors. Experts suggest reducing pesticide use in key bird habitats to decrease pollution and poisoning risks. A long-term monitoring and tracking team composed of experts from various fields is recommended to understand migratory patterns and improve protection efforts.
