Linli County: Loving and Protecting Birds Become a Daily Activity
On the afternoon of August 27, Linli County Forest Public Security Bureau received a telephone call from Mr. Dong, an engineer of Shuguang Construction Group of the county industrial park, saying that his child and his mother found an injured egret when they were playing on the edge of the Taiping Reservoir, and now the egret had been brought back to their home in the industrial park and needed medical help.
After receiving the call, the County Forest Public Security Bureau immediately reported the situation to the County Forestry Bureau. The staff of the County Forestry Bureau Wildlife Protection Station drove quickly to the industrial park. The whole family had already waited in the park and carefully held the egret. When delivering the injured egret to the staff, Mr. Dong specifically said that the egret should be released. When the staff left with the egret, the child of Mr. Dong cried in tears. After careful inspection, the egrets didn’t suffer obvious injury. So the staff took the egret to the river and released it.
Dong’s family’s awareness of protecting birds and protecting wild animals is very commendable. And this is just another epitome of Linli people’s love of birds. In recent years, Linli County has carried out extensive and in-depth publicity activities on bird protection in various forms. People love birds and protect birds, and the environment for the survival and reproduction of birds has been significantly improved, reaching the goal of harmonious coexistence between human beings and birds.
