A traditional technique used by young shepherds of Ethiopia’s Banna tribe.
They use stilts to watch over their livestock in tall grass, move through wetland areas, and avoid snakes and predators like lions and leopards.
It requires strength, balance, and training from a young age.

Queen of the gardens of the sky,
Where stars like lilies, white and fair,
Shine through the mists of frosty air
——Oscar Wilde

One road. Two breathtaking landscapes.
In East China's #
Jiangxi# province, the Dahuchi section of the Yongwu Highway offers two stunning views. Each summer, rising waters from Poyang Lake transform it into a surreal "floating highway". As the water recedes, it reemerges as a scenic road winding through vast wetlands.

I forage along the tidal flats of Tiaozini, while waiting for the sea breeze to return.
With every rise and fall of the tide comes an endless “natural buffet,” and an ever-present cooling wind from the coast.
Don’t hide in air-conditioned rooms—come to the wetlands. Here, summer feels like it’s breathing.

A century as far as Ramsar sites are concerned!
Glad that the Jai Prakash Narayan Bird Sanctuary (Surha Tal) in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh has been designated as India’s 100th Ramsar site. This wetland is rich in avifaunal biodiversity, attracting several migratory and resident birds.
India’s unwavering commitment to protecting our natural surroundings and wetlands in particular is clearly reflected in this feat.
Over the years, efforts to conserve and rejuvenate wetlands have been strengthened through greater community participation, science, innovation and awareness initiatives. These endeavours are helping preserve biodiversity, secure ecological balance and create a greener future for coming generations.

It’s bird migration season again in China, and parks, wetlands, and lakes are quietly filling up with people carrying binoculars instead of shopping bags.
Some come hoping to spot rare species. Others say birdwatching has become a way to slow down for a few hours — to stay quiet, wait, and pay attention to something other than screens and notifications.
China is home to more than 1,400 bird species, and four of the world’s nine major migratory bird flyways pass through the country.
Every year, hundreds of millions of migratory birds cross mountains, coastlines, deserts, and wetlands here on journeys stretching thousands of kilometers. In recent years, growing wetland protection and habitat restoration efforts have also helped fuel a noticeable birdwatching boom.
And maybe that’s part of why bird photos have suddenly become everywhere lately — not just because the birds are beautiful, but because more people are starting to notice they’re there at all!
