Recently, the "Beauty of the Wild, the Convention on Biological Diversity

Photographic Exhibition", hosted by the Beijing Representative Office of the

National Geographic Society (USA), was launched. The Milu deer photographic

work from Yang Guomei, President of Dafeng District Photographers Association

was selected into the exhibition. The Dafeng wetland in Jiangsu has given birth

to a rich and unique ecosystem, and Milu deer, the "wetland elves", has

attracted the attention of the world again, according to the Publicity

Department of Dafeng District People's Government.

When COP 15 was held in Kunming, the exhibition attracted wide attention. A

total of more than 30 nature photos taken in recent years were on display to

show the beauty of wildlife in China's national parks and reserves, hoping to

draw public attention to the protection of species diversity. Milu deer from

Dafeng have become a typical representative of attaching importance to

biodiversity conservation in China.

The photographs in the exhibition show the happy scene of Milu deer crossing

the water in Chinese Milu National Nature Reserve. The area is rich in

ecological resources. Over the years, the sustainable construction has

maintained the integrity of the natural ecosystem, protected biodiversity,

promoted natural ecological protection and harmonious symbiosis between man and

nature. At present, Dafeng wetland has created five "best in the world", i.e.,

the largest Milu deer nature reserve, the largest Milu deer population, the

most complete Milu deer gene bank, the largest wild Milu deer population, and

the largest artificially domesticated Milu deer population in the world.

Yang Guomei has been following Milu deer for 35 years and is known as "the

first person in Chinese Milu deer photography". He uses images to save the rare

species and has published a number of collections of Milu deer themed

photographs. More than 500 Milu deer-themed photographic works have won awards

or exhibited in international film festivals in 76 countries and regions.

Migratory Bird Sanctuaries along the Coast of Yellow Sea-Bohai Gulf of China

(Phase I) has been listed as a World Natural Heritage site, and his works have

frequently appeared in the process of applying, building a bridge between the

Yellow Sea wetland in Yancheng and the world.
