崇明东滩是上海地区保持最原始、面积最大的滩涂湿地,素有“涉禽王国”之称,有记录的鸟类达312种。它也是西太平洋沿岸最大的候鸟“驿站”和理想的越冬场所,每年在此栖息、越冬的鸟类达108种,300多万只,约占我国鸟类总数的十分之一。为了给鸟类营造一个舒适、温暖的家,1998年上海市政府把崇明东滩辟为鸟类自然保护区。生活在崇明岛上的中学生们也自觉地把保护鸟儿当成了自己神圣的职责。
Chongming Dongtan is the most primitive and largest tidal wetland in Shanghai. It is known as the “King of Birds” and has 312 species of recorded birds. It is also the largest migratory bird station in the western Pacific and an ideal wintering place. There are 108 species of birds that inhabit and overwinter in this year and more than 3 million birds each year, accounting for about one-tenth of the total number of bird species in China. In order to create a comfortable and warm home for birds, in 1998 the Shanghai municipal government turned the Chongming Dongtan into a bird nature reserve. The middle school students living on Chongming Island also consciously regard protecting birds as their sacred duty.
