In northwest China’s Qinghai Province, Qinghai Lake has transformed into a wildlife paradise thanks to dedicated ecological protection efforts in recent years. The lake’s abundant fish resources, particularly the native naked carp, now attract tens of thousands of birds to inhabit and reproduce in the area.
As one gazes upon the lake, meadows are lush with grass, yaks dot the landscape, and birds soar freely overhead. This idyllic scene exemplifies the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
Local communities and the government have collaborated over the years to restore and preserve the lake’s delicate ecosystem. Their sustained efforts have not only revitalized fish populations but also enhanced habitats for a diverse array of wildlife.
The naked carp, an endemic species to Qinghai Lake, undertake an upstream journey to spawn in freshwater—a remarkable natural event that draws nature enthusiasts and researchers alike.
