Shenzhen park adjusts lighting for migratory birds

A park in Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong province, has received complaints about insufficient lighting, yet the reduced illumination is a necessary measure to safeguard migratory birds.

As a critical stop along a major global migratory flyway, the Shenzhen Bay Park dims its lights annually to provide a safe resting environment for birds in the mangroves. While some residents have expressed concerns, this practice demonstrates the city's commitment to preserving ecological balance.

A modern metropolis should feature both vibrant urban spaces and the darkness that allows wildlife to thrive. This is the warmth of Shenzhen - a city that progresses rapidly, yet always cares for every living creature with tenderness and responsibility.
