In the water close to the coastline of the Beibu Gulf, Chinese white dolphins emerge to breathe and hunt for fish. In the meantime, the nearshore wetlands along the gulf have become a sanctuary for migratory birds. But the eco-system has been put under threat and that's why Chinese scientists are working to reverse the trend. Watch this episode to find out how.

About 'Journeys in Nature': Beibu Gulf Series

Beibu Gulf, located in south China, is an important link between the southwestern regions of the country and the rest of the world. This area boasts not only economic vitality, but also ecological biodiversity. CGTN Nature's film crew traveled to the gulf and discovered rare animal and plant species, including Eden's whale, the Chinese white dolphin, the Malabar pied hornbill and the Francois' monkey, to name only a few.
