Located in Hongze Lake, the fourth largest freshwater lake in China, Hongze Lake Nature Reserve is a major habitat and haven for wintering migratory birds. Each year, more than 500,000 migratory birds arrive at the wetland for foraging, breeding and a welcome stopover.

After years of efforts to restore fishing plots to wetlands, the reserve is now home to 226 species of wild birds, 79 more species than that in 2013, including many rare kinds of birds including ernes, spotted eagles and white-headed storks.
Created in 1976, the Etang de Cousseau Nature Reserve covers an area of 600 hectares just 3 kilometers inland from the Atlantic Ocean, where it protects the ancient dunes that line the Talaris marsh. It is home to various species of flora and fauna, including the magnificent carnivorous plant Drosera, the European otter and the Cistude turtle, and many nesting and migratory birds.

As the newest member of the European Rewilding Network, Etang de Cousseau has just introduced eight water buffalo to its marshlands. Together with the marine landaise cow, these herbivores contribute to the balance of the reserve's rich ecosystem.
