In recent years, Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture has vigorously implemented the ecological restoration project of the Ebinur Lake. With the continuous expansion of water area and improvement of ecological environment, the Ebinur Lake has attracted many birds to “settle down”, including black stork, little egret and common shelduck.
