The Jingjiang ecological environment bureau organized an educational event on May 21 to celebrate the International Day for Biological Diversity on May 22, aiming to deepen public understanding of the Yangtze River's ecosystem and biodiversity while promoting ecological conservation awareness.
Young students gathered fallen leaves and flowers at Mucheng Park, using them to create collages for an ecological art wall. They also joined volunteers in collecting litter along the riverbank.
