SANYA,
March 2 (Xinhua) -- The White-browed crake, a rare bird species, has been seen
at a wetland park in Sanya City, south China's Hainan province.
The
White-browed crake is a small-billed bird around 20 cm long, with distinctive
markings on the head and white eyebrows. They usually live in subtropical or
tropical mangrove forests and can be found in Australia, Brunei, Cambodia,
Fiji, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and China.
The rare
bird's conservation status has been classified as LC (least concern) on the
International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species.
Veteran
bird-watcher Lu Gang said that the bird's presence in Sanya indicated that
local environmental protection efforts were bearing fruit.
Sanya has
been improving the ecology of its inland wetlands and coastal waters over the
years.
