Kushiro Marsh Wildlife Conservation Center

Discovering Cooper Marsh

Cooper Marsh is a provincially significant Class 1 wetland that was restored in the early 1980s. The Cooper Marsh Conservation Area includes three wetland enclosures. In the main wetland enclosure there are two boardwalks. In the eastern section of the main wetland enclosure there is a newly reconstructed boardwalk which has been widened and made wheelchair accessible. A new viewing platform has been created next to the visitor's centre. Come and walk the boardwalks that take you within the Marsh and also view the diverse wildlife from our blinds and viewing platforms. You will enjoy this hidden jewel in Eastern Ontario.

Frogs & Birds Live at Wastewater Treatment Wetland

Wildlife actually thrive at a wastewater treatment facility in Albany, Oregon. Talking Water Gardens is an engineered treatment wetland that filters out heavy metals from a big polluter nearby. It's designed to mimic the cleansing and cooling characteristics that occur in nature. I was surprised to see dozens of frogs & birds here and many hiking trails that make this as enjoyable as many of the national wildlife refuges nearby.

Animal protection in China：Black-necked cranes return to breeding grounds

This year's first flock of black-necked cranes recently arrived at Ruoergai Marshes National Nature Reserve in southwest China's Sichuan Province, after a 15-day journey stretching some 800 kilometers.
The black-necked crane, a first-class protected species in China, is the only kind of crane that inhabits and reproduces high on plateaus.
Aside from black-necked cranes, the reserve has seen the return of other migratory birds, with the total number reaching 10,000. Officials believe that the number of migratory birds has increased thanks to the area's improved environment in recent years.
