Beijing has comprehensively promoted the construction of ecological civilization, the ecological environment has continued to improve, and biodiversity has become more and more abundant. Beijing is an important passage of bird migration, and a large number of birds stop to have a rest every year. In recent years, the national first-class protected animal black stork and the national second-class protected animal Sinian crow have appeared in many places in Beijing. Not long ago, in Miyun, birdwatchers also found a bird of prey-chestnut kite. This is the first time that the chestnut kite has appeared in Beijing since it was recorded.

Song Yingying, a bird watcher: It's incredible to see chestnut kites in Beijing. One of the most intuitive feelings of watching birds outdoors in recent years is that the environment is getting better and better. The latest survey shows that 12 species of birds have been newly discovered in Beijing, reaching 515 species. In Yanqing Songshan National Nature Reserve, wild animals such as impala, badger and wild boar have also appeared frequently during this period.

The increasing biodiversity stems from the remarkable improvement of the ecological environment. In recent years, Beijing has implemented a series of ecological projects, such as two rounds of afforestation and greening, and the construction of ecological conservation areas. The forest coverage rate reached 44.8%, and the urban greening coverage rate reached 49.3%. Beijing has also built 300 biodiversity conservation communities, nearly 500 small and micro wetlands, artificial nests, insect hotels, etc., and hedgehogs, squirrels and other small animals are also increasing. Gao Dawei, Party Secretary of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Landscaping and Greening: We have planned and built 79 nature reserves in the vast mountainous areas, and more than 90% of the key protected wild animals and plants and their habitats have been effectively protected. At present, there are 608 species of terrestrial wild animals and 2,088 species of wild plants in the city, and Beijing is moving towards the capital of biodiversity.
