The Siberian crane, known in China as the white crane, is seen as a symbol of good luck.Each year, almost the entire world population of these critically endangered birdsmake a 9,000-kilometre roundtrip to spend the winter at Poyang.Like the white cranes,many of south China's unique animals face pressure from exploitation and competition with people over space and resources.But if China is living proof of anything,it is that wildlife is surprisingly resilient.Given the right help, even the rarest creatures can return from the brink.If we show the will, nature will find the way.
