Located along the Yellow River in Ningxia's Wuzhong city, the Qingtongxia Reservoir Wetland Area Nature Reserve has transformed from a degraded landscape into a haven for birds and a refuge for elk.
By connecting river systems, integrated monitoring, replenishing ecological water, restoring floodplains, and converting farmland to wetlands, it has achieved major advances in biodiversity conservation and the ex-situ protection of endangered species. This rebirth of the Yellow River floodplain tells a story of ecological restoration, wildlife protection, and harmony between people and nature.
