Due to its environment, Beijing E-Town is becoming a transit station and habitat for more rare bird species, and a picture of harmonious coexistence between people, city, and nature is becoming clearer. The number of bird species within the area has increased from 306 species in 2022 to 325 today.
In the future, Beijing E-Town will continue to strengthen the protection of biodiversity, composing the "E-Town chapter" of harmonious coexistence between ecological civilization and urban development.
