The Yalu River estuary bird habitat is located within the Yalu River Estuary Wetland National Nature Reserve, characterized by both continental and marine climate features. It nurtures a complex ecosystem of inland wetlands, coastal wetlands and marine ecology, supporting 324 species of birds, according to Lei Guangchun, a professor from Beijing Forestry University.
The Yalu River estuary bird habitat provides a critical source of food for 200,000 to 400,000 migratory birds each year, serving as an important resting and refueling station for migratory birds.
