Q: How many species of birds are there in our country? How many species of birds are there in our co

The Taxonomy and Distribution List of Chinese Birds (First Edition) edited by Academician Zheng Guangmei includes a total of 1,331 species (2,260 subspecies) belonging to 24 orders, 101 families and 429 genera.

The latest version of the list is the second edition, but I haven't got it yet, and there are a lot of birds in Taiwan, so the total number should be more than 1,400 species.

This is the most authoritative classified data in China.

However, in fact, different experts have different emphasis on the basis of classification (such as morphology, molecules, behavior, and sounds), and the criteria are slightly different, so no classification can be said to be absolutely correct.

Just know that there are about 1,400 species.

There are 1,332 species recorded in the Bird List of China.

1244 species, data from biology textbooks.

There are a total of 1,491 species of birds in our country.

In recent years, China has actively established bird nature reserves, implemented rescue and protection actions for endangered birds, severely cracked down on illegal hunting of wild birds, and continued to increase the protection of birds.

China accounts for about one-sixth of the world's bird species, is one of the countries with the largest number of bird species in the world, more than India, Australia, these bird-rich countries, more than the whole of Europe, the whole of North America, is the country with the most birds in the world; For example, there are 15 species of cranes in the world, and there are 9 species in China, accounting for 60; There are 46 species of thrush birds in the world, and there are 34 species in China, accounting for 74.

Chinese merganser duck is a relatively ancient bird, has a history of more than 10 million years, this is a unique bird in China, because of its distribution atmosphere is narrow, the number of the world does not exceed 1,000 at present.

Currently, 9,021 species of birds have been found worldwide; There are 1,186 species of birds in the closed country. It will continue to climb in the future.

There are about 1,186 species of birds in China that have been found to be in a collapsed state, and they are constantly climbing.

There are about 9,000 species of birds known to humans in the world. Birds of our country are widely distributed in forests, farmlands, grasslands, habitat spots, and various bodies of water. There are many species and ecologically diverse birds, which can be divided into flat-chested orders, including birds that are good at walking and cannot fly, such as ostriches.

There is a penguin order, which is good at swimming and cannot fly, such as penguins. There is also a protruding chest, which is good at flying.

Measures to protect birds:

1. Protecting the natural environment on which birds depend is the most fundamental and important measure to protect birds. The survival and development of any animal, including birds, is indispensable for food, habitat and breeding conditions.

2. In-situ protection and ex-situ protection and modification, mainly in-situ protection. Wild birds are domesticated and bred in captivity, and under the condition of ex situ conservation, a large number of individuals are reproduced, and then released into the natural environment, so that endangered species can restore their populations. If we want to protect those endangered birds, we should protect them in situ, restore and improve the environment of their original habitats, and then strengthen other protection measures, so as to effectively protect the original birds and delay their extinction.

3. Rescue of birds.

4. Improving the awareness of bird protection and strengthening protection measures is an important guarantee for bird protection.
