    There are many wetlands(湿地)in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them.They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(自然保护区)is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Granes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.

   The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine,too. They are really good places for wildlife(野生动物).

But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings.This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
