Tidal creeks erode sand near a land reclamation site at Tiaozini, Jiangsu province. The land reclamation project poses a major threat to the IUCN critically endangered spoon-billed sandpiper and other species. Before 2020, another 59,950 hectares are planned to be reclaimed at Tiaozini and nearby -- a total area that amounts to more than ten times the size of Manhattan.
