On February 2nd, 2025, the world observes the 29th annual World Wetlands Day under the theme "Protecting Wetlands for Our Common Future." As of today, Guangdong Province is home to 6 internationally important wetlands, 3 nationally important wetlands, 43 provincially important wetlands, 27 national wetland parks, and 6 provincial wetland parks, signaling a new wetland protection framework.

During the mild winter, the Haozhaolou Wetland Park in Huizhou, the Mangrove National Nature Reserve in Zhanjiang, and the Haifeng Wetlands in Shanwei attract numerous visitors. As one of China's most resource-rich provinces in terms of wetlands, Guangdong boasts a total wetland area of 1.9 million hectares and a diverse range of wetland types.

Wetland protection and restoration are key pillars of Guangdong's ecological civilization efforts. The province has built a multi-tiered protection system, covering nature reserves, wetland parks, and more. Through initiatives like "Small Wetlands+" and "Wetland Parks+," Guangdong is nurturing emerging industries such as wetland health and ecotourism, enhancing both the environment quality and economic growth.

Among the top priorities is the protection and restoration of Mangrove wetlands. Guangdong leads China in mangrove area, with 11,400 hectares of mangroves. It is also one of the provinces with the most optimal natural resources for mangrove ecosystems, boasting 18 families, 24 genera, and 27 species of mangrove plants. Nearly 95% of Guangdong's mangroves have been incorporated into ecological red lines, and the International Mangrove Center has been inaugurated in Shenzhen to support ongoing conservation efforts.

Bird conservation is another critical focus of Guangdong's wetland protection work. The province is home to 584 species of wild birds, including 412 migratory species. In recent years, new species and distributions have been recorded, and wild bird populations are gradually recovering, reflecting the success of Guangdong's environmental protection initiatives.

2025年2月2日是第29个“世界湿地日”，今年的主题是“保护湿地 共筑未来”。截至目前，广东省共建成国际重要湿地6处，国家重要湿地3处，省级重要湿地43处，国家湿地公园27处，省级湿地公园6处，湿地保护新格局正在稳步形成。

暖冬里的好招楼湿地公园，中国大陆最南端海边的红树林，汕尾海丰湿地游人如织……作为全国湿地资源较为丰富的省份之一，广东现有湿地总面积达190.68万公顷，湿地类型齐全。

广东将湿地保护修复作为生态文明建设的重要内容，建立了涵盖自然保护区、湿地公园等多个层级的保护体系。广东省通过“小微湿地+”和“湿地公园+”试点建设，推动湿地康养和湿地旅游等新兴产业发展，提升了生态质量，也促进了经济发展。

红树林湿地的保护修复与利用已成为一项重点工作。广东是我国红树林面积最大的省份，总面积达1.14万公顷；也是红树林自然资源本底最优的省份之一，红树植物种类丰富，达18科24属27种。在广东，国际红树林中心在深圳正式揭牌成立，近95%的红树林被纳入生态保护红线。

广东的湿地保护工作也着力加强候鸟保护，记录的野生鸟类达584种，其中迁徙鸟类有412种，近年来新纪录和新分布种类不断增加，野生鸟类种群也在逐步恢复。
