“Xiaoyangkou Reloading Equipment” Base Under Construction
“Xiaoyangkou Reloading Equipment” base was under construction.
This project located less than 2 km to the core protection area of Spoon-billed sandpiper (Eurynorhynchus pygmeus). The construction and later usage would undoubtedly threaten the habitat of those migrant birds.

2017年8月29日,正在施工的“小洋口(洋口镇)重装设备成套基地”,该工程距离小洋口勺嘴鹬保护小区的中心位置不到2公里。工程的施工及后期投入使用后必将对保护小区范围内候鸟的生境构成威胁。

Land Reclamation Projects Threaten the Last Remaining Coastal Wetlands in China
The speed and scale of land reclamation is the primary threat to the environment of China's coastal wetlands. During land reclamation projects, huge changes take place in the local biodiversity and habitat of migratory birds and other species, but also for those fishermen communities who have been closely bound up with the coastal wetlands from generation to generation. The reclamation projects that are occupying the coastal wetlands illegally and the poor supervision of land use after the reclamation have caused great damage and threats to the natural coastal wetlands and local biodiversity.
To protect the 800 million mu (1mu=0.0006667km²) wetland in China and preserve the national ecological security, it is necessary to effectively delineate and implement the ecological protection “red line”, a set of ecological guidelines issued on February 2017 by Chinese central authorities that will declare certain regions under mandatory and rigorous protection.
