"China has no birds". China's Shenzhen promotes construction of int'l mangrove center

[jhungary]

In England , my country of residence, all forests are less than 2 to 300 years old. Most younger than 100 years. That's because English people chopped off almost all forests by 17th century, then realized what they done and started replanting trees.
Likewise Heather moorlands, wetlands. Most of wetlands were decimated for peat harvesting, and Heather which grows there went with that. Then they re flooded areas to creat peat bogs and replanted Heather.
China is going through a similar phase. They waged a war against 4 pests, including sparrow. In 1950s and early 60s

But since it was direct order from Chairman Mao, people took it too seriously and sparrows were eradicated. That caused ecological disaster. Later use dangerous pesticides, caused further damage to birds and ecosystem.
Now they are rehabilitating nature,and doing quite well
We should appreciate, not criticize.

Since the age of Dinosaur, almost every living creature going extinct is due to human stupidity (or greed, however you see it) The thing is, we need to stop doing stupid things, yes, people tried to make up to their mistake, that's not quite the same tho, don't you think?

This "do it now and apologise afterward" attitude is not going to fly in nature.........

But the point is that's not specific to China or Chinese only, or any other particular nations. All humans are guilty in this regard.
Some nature recovered is better than none at all

Don't lie about China. There is no bird issue there according to our beloved OP. If people want to see birds they can simply go to the nearest waterfront or city park like a "normal country". He's got the pics!

Meanwhile my country is abnormal because when I open the back door to my house 5 birds are sitting there on the deck chattering away. I have to run passed them to head off to the nearest waterfront or park to snap pictures of birds...where they should be.
