Residents to be relocated from wetland

By Li Fangchao (China Daily)

2005-10-31

In an effort to rescue the fast shrinking and deteriorating
Zhalong Wetland, 5,400 people who live in the main area of the wetland
are to be relocated by the year 2010, sources with the Heilongjiang
Provincial Forestry Department said.

Zhalong Wetland, in Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, is the
largest of its type in the country and home to hundreds of endangered
species of fauna and flora.

Around 500 species of plants and 300 species of waterfowl can be found
in the reserve. It is particularly noted for the rare red-crowned
crane.
