In mid -June, Jiushaping Village, Jingxin Town, Jingxun City, Jilin Province, the continuous rice was inserted and the 42 -year -old villager Lin Kui was busy weeding. This year is the ninth year of his planting geese.

"Big geese rice is named because of protecting the geese. In order to avoid the meal of rice with pesticides and fertilizers, we give up the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers to avoid polluting water and soil." Lin Kui said.

Hunchun City is located in the lower reaches of the Tujiang River in eastern Jilin Province. The wetland where Jiushaping Village is located, the rivers run through, and the lakes are scattered. They are both high -quality rice producing areas and migratory birds.

Lin Kui remembers that the people and birds had contradictions in the past. In the two seasons of spring and autumn, hundreds of thousands of migratory birds, which are mainly composed of geese, stopped in wetlands. Although a unique scenery was formed, when the migratory bird passed, they would step on crops and eat rice. Alertness. The more migratory birds, the more local villagers lose. Villagers have tried to drive migratory birds with firecrackers and bird nets.

At that time, Lin Kui and several bird -loving friends in the village formed a bird protection team to carry out bird protection work such as patrolling, assistance and propaganda. Everyone talked about bird protection knowledge, but the effect was not obvious.

"People are indeed lost, and migratory birds really need a good environment. How can there be a way to do both beauty?" This problem has suffered a bitterly. Until 2013, Xie Yan, an expert of the Institute of Animal Research, who came here, proposed a solution: ecological planting.

"Use artificial weeding instead of pesticides, and use the feces left by migratory birds instead of chemical fertilizer, so that birds can stay with peace of mind, and villagers can plant products with higher economic value." Xie Yan said.

When others were still doubtful, Lin Kui became the "first person to eat crab" in the village. In the autumn harvest, he calculated a account. "The output of chemical fertilizers has dropped a little, and migratory birds have lost a little, but organic fertilizers have been left, and the rice market planted in this way is more recognized. The price is four or five times higher than in previous years." Lin Kui said. Essence

From not suitable for leaving pesticides and fertilizers to gradually mastering ecological planting technology; from artificial weeding to "weeding" through breeding ducks, the yield and quality of big geese are continuously improved, and they are also sold to Beijing, Shanghai and other places. More and more villagers join the geese planting team.

In 2015, Jiushaping Village established professional cooperatives in Li Chun City, and organized and promoted with the Spring Wild Animal Animation Association and other organizations to create brands. Book big geese.

As the ecological environment is getting better and better, there are more and more migratory birds in wetlands. Not only are ordinary white geese and bean geese, but also the first -level protective birds such as white -tailed sea carving and tiger head sea carving.

In the past few years, every time in the migration season, people in all directions will come together like migratory birds and come to see the migratory bird style. "The birds in the wetland are famous and beautiful." Zhang Yan, a Beijing photography enthusiast, said that he always asked his friends to come to Jiushaping Village for a week and play the birds while playing.

The migratory bird brought "traffic", and the "bird watching economy" quietly emerged in Jiushaping Village. The village has developed a characteristic tourism industry, and many villagers operate catering, accommodation and other projects. "There are too many birds, people are here, life is better," said Xiao Jianhua, a villager.

"Only by allowing local residents to benefit from the protection of nature, can we be better to protect nature." Xie Yan said.

Today, there are more and more members of Jiu Shaping Village. "Guarding birds and guarding the land is to protect our hometown." Lin Kui said.
