Guangdong success in wild animal protection campaign

GUANGZHOU, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- A recent month-long campaign saw south China's Guangdong Province examine and punish more than 1,300 restaurants and hotels and 102 people involved in poaching, transporting and trading migrant birds and other wild animals, it was announced on Wednesday.

The provincial forestry public security bureau said it launched the migrant bird protection campaign on Oct. 8.

A total of 4,829 law enforcement officials from local governments, public security departments, industrial and commercial administrations, and animal and plant protection departments took part in the campaign, capturing 51,622 migratory birds from markets, restaurants and hotels.

The mild climate in autumn and winter in the southern province attracts billions of birds migrating across the province or staying there every year.
