In the tidal wetland near the Yellow River in Dongming County, Heze City, more 
than 100,000 wild geese have travelled thousands of kilometers to converge on 
their natural habitat, merrily frolicking and honking, creating a wonderful 
picture of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, according to the 
Information Office of Dongming County People's Government.

Since the beginning of winter, flocks of geese have been migrating for winter 
to the beach area of the Yellow River in Dongming. Su Zhenwei, Head of the 
Forestry Protection Station of the Dongming County Forestry Bureau, and his 
colleagues travel dozens of kilometers along the Yellow River every day to 
inspect the migratory birds settling in here for winter. It is the busiest time 
of the year for Su and his team.

Dongming County, where the Yellow River flows into Shandong, has a beach area 
of 317 square kilometers. Dongming County implements the so-called forest chief 
system, which prioritizes ecological protection and wetland restoration in the 
Yellow River beach area. The County continuously strengthens publicity and 
protection of migratory birds, including grey cranes, swans, and wild geese. 
For ten consecutive winters, these birds have been returning to Dongming. The 
migratory birds are mainly dou geese, gray geese and swan geese, and they 
number more than 100,000.
