Recently, the GBIF Working Group of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) received the data of Upupa Epops from Pingliang forest fire brigade of Gansu Province. The relevant data has been recorded and released on the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) platform for reference and download.

The Upupa Epops was rescued by Wang Tianyu of Pingliang forest fire brigade in Pingliang, Gansu Province on July 19, 2022. The Upupa Epops are migratory birds. It is about 30cm in length, with a prominent brown chestnut crest on the top of the head, and a long black bill that bends downward.
