On the occasion of International Museum Day, Beijing E-Town held a themed event at the Beijing Nanhaizi Milu Park Museum on May 18.

During the event, the Beijing E-Town Biodiversity Series of books, which showcases the biodiversity survey results of Beijing E-Town, released its first publication.

Among the books, Feathered Friends of Beijing E-Town, a comprehensive book combining illustrations, text, and videos on bird species, received considerable attention.

It features 238 bird species, nearly 400 bird photos, and hundreds of videos of wild birds. 

"This book provides brief descriptions of the included bird species, supplemented with field photos and videos of wild birds taken using infrared cameras and SLR cameras. It allows readers to gain a certain understanding of the relevant bird species through a combination of visuals and text, and also provides QR codes for readers to scan and watch videos using their smartphones, remarked Zhong Zhenyu, a staff member of the Beijing Biodiversity Conservation Research Center.
