        "content": "<p>Simuyu, a rarely visited island in Fujian Province, southeastern\nChina, is an important habitat for the China crested tern. Known as the\n\u2018legendary bird\u2019, this species is under national Class I protection in\nChina and is listed as critically endangered by the International Union\nfor Conservation of Nature (IUCN). To safeguard the endangered species\nand boost its population, Fujian ecological authorities launched a\ndedicated project for the China crested tern on uninhabited islands. On\nthose islands, staff optimise habitat conditions and encourage natural\necosystems to attract the birds to nest and breed. From April to August,\nthe migratory and breeding season for the China crested tern, dedicated\nvolunteers participated in habitat-attraction engineering and routine\nmonitoring on Simuyu Island despite challenging conditions. The team is\nmade up of graduates in ecology and zoology, forestry workers, and\nexperienced birdwatchers. Currently, solar-powered high-definition\ncameras enable real-time monitoring around the clock on the island.\nStaff can observe and record the China crested tern and its ecological\nenvironment via mobile phones and computers, providing vital data to\nsupport scientific research and population recovery.<\/p>",
