In a picturesque display of nature's elegance, a herd of milu, also known as Pere David's deer, was recently spotted navigating the wetlands of Dongtai in east China’s Jiangsu Province. This enchanting sight was made even more striking by the halodendron wormwood plants, which are in full bloom, creating a vibrant \"red carpet\" for the deer to graze upon.
The milu species enjoys first-class state protection in China, a status that has been pivotal in the steady growth of its population in Jiangsu since the 1980s. Conservation efforts have transformed these wetlands into a thriving habitat, ensuring that these graceful creatures continue to roam freely and contribute to the region's biodiversity.
This delightful occurrence not only underscores the success of wildlife protection measures in China but also offers a serene glimpse into the harmonious coexistence of flora and fauna in one of the country's beautiful wetland ecosystems.
