Bird People in China The Wild China by John MacKinnon, China is a country of extraordinary diversity. Its widely varied habitats support a wealth of animals, birds, and plants that make this country biologically one of the richest on our planet. Illustrated with over 400 superb color photographs, Wild China surveys these treasures. It explores reserves where the elusive Giant Panda is now protected, alpine meadows that are a botanist's wonderland of floral species, wetlands that are home to a million birds, turtle islands, and tigers' stalking grounds. Following a scene-setting introduction, chapters focus on each of the country's major ecological regions in turn, from the peaks of Qomolangma (Mount Everest) to the world's second-lowest point in the Turpan Basin, from tropical rain forests in the south to the permafrost of Manchuria and the cold dry desert of the northwest, from vast grasslands and alpine meadows to the teeming yellow waters of the Yangtze River. A human population of over one billion people has taken its toll on this natural wealth. The need for economic development is balanced, however, by the Chinese people's love and appreciation of natural beauty. China has already established over 500 nature reserves, including some of the largest in the world, and these are highlighted in Wild China.

Will an environmental problem and a people problem in China be solved so that cranes and local farmers can both thrive? In Israel, can scientists and children and neighbors work against the backdrop of war to save a little falcon? And will decoys and mirrors and sound recordings fool a handsome seabird into nesting safely again on Devil's Slide Rock off the coast of California? The teacher's guide Giving Back to the Earth (below) is ideal for this book.
The Bird People in China - The Bird People in China (中国の鳥人 Chûgoku no chôjin) is a Japanese movie directed by Takashi Miike. The film is considerably more mellow in tone than some of the director's other works. Chinese bird spider - The Chinese Bird Spider is a name given to a specie of old-world tarantula which is found in the People's Republic of China and Vietnam. The spider, also known as the Golden Earth Tiger, is currently classified as Ornithoctonus huwena (and was previously classified as Selenocosmia huwena), though the binomial name Haplopelma schmidti may have precedence (the latter name refers to a spider found in Vietnam which may in fact be the same species).
