On the morning of July 26, 2023, Dr. Zhou Jinfeng, Secretary General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), and a delegation of State Grid Co., LTD., State Grid Public Welfare Foundation, and State Grid Heilongjiang Electric Power Company went to Qiqihar City in Heilongjiang Province to carry out research work.

The survey lasted for two days, mainly to deeply understand the nesting, distribution and living conditions of Oriental white storks around the main transmission lines in Qiqihar, to investigate the bird protection measures that have been taken in the current transmission lines, and to explore the effective path of harmonious coexistence between the powerlines and birds.

In Zhalong Reserve, they listened to the director of the reserve introduce the status quo of the reserve, visited the crane viewing platform of Zhalong Wetland, the exhibition area of the reserve, and participated in the red-crowned crane release activities on site.
