"Hometown of White Crane" Faku: Wetlands are well protected, and white cranes come in early spring;
Faku County, as the hometown of white cranes, has been committed to creating a comfortable and warm home for white cranes.
The wetland vegetation and reservoir bottom in Badger Cave area are important wetland ecosystems and circulatory systems, and it is difficult to repair once they are destroyed. Therefore, Faku county has planned and implemented the project of returning farmland to humidity, restored vegetation in a planned way, and improved and upgraded the wetland environment.
At the same time, Faku County strengthened publicity and education. County Forestry Bureau and other departments and Shenyang bird protection volunteers have repeatedly carried out wetland protection and bird protection activities in villages around Bazidong, and publicized and educated the surrounding people to join the ranks of wetland protection by issuing calendars, publicity materials, setting up publicity banners and on-site explanations.
The continuous improvement of habitat environment provides a good resting place for migratory birds returning from migration. In recent years, Faku Badger Cave Wetland Park is full of migratory birds in spring and autumn every year.
