In 2004, the long-disappeared Chinese crested terns made a remarkable comeback, returning to their breeding grounds in the East China Sea. This return marked a significant milestone for both the species and the ecological balance of the region.
To ensure that these mythical birds continue to return each year for breeding, scientists have been diligently exploring a variety of methods. From habitat restoration to advanced monitoring techniques, the efforts aim to create a sustainable environment that supports the terns' life cycle.
