In recent years, experts have discovered rare tree species such as maple, birch, and euonymus in water conservation forests. This means that after enclosure protection, the native tree species here have undergone natural renewal and the ecological environment has become more stable.
There are currently hundreds of thousands of migratory birds in the reservoir, including more than 100 species such as freshwater gulls, big swans, egrets, herons, cormorants, and various mergansers.
This year, Miyun Reservoir will formally implement the “Jingji Miyun Reservoir Water Source Protection Joint Action Plan”. Based on the five major water-protection methods of “upstream water conservation, forest protection, reservoir area protection, regulations and policies”, 18 measures will be comprehensively adopted to upgrade protection.
In recent years, the development of the folk tourism industry has created a leisure farm integrating leisure, sightseeing and fruit picking. Villagers are encouraged to develop folk tourism and boutique homestays. The income of the villagers has gradually increased, attracting a large number of tourists.
