Why can Wuhan, with a population of10 million, unlock the "international wetland city"?

Home is a hard core and wetland resources are superior.

If resource endowment is a kind of strength, then Wuhan, which is rich in wetlands, is definitely a talented player. Wuhan is known as the "Jiangcheng", where the Yangtze River and its largest tributary, the Han River, meet. 165 rivers are endless, and 166 lakes are scattered all over the place.

"China is an" international wetland city "with distinctive characteristics," said the relevant person in charge of the Wildlife Protection Department of the Municipal Bureau of Landscape Architecture. For example, Dongying is a swamp wetland, Haikou is mainly a marine wetland, and Yinchuan is mainly a Yellow River wetland. The wetland types in Wuhan are mainly lakes, which are evenly distributed. Through the distribution map of wetland resources in Wuhan (below), we can see that countless irregular blue patches are densely intertwined in Wuhan, which is in harmony with the depth of the city.
