On a high-voltage iron tower, Oriental storks, China's national first-class protected wild animals, are raising their young. Beneath qy球友会 tower, builders of Hefei-Chizhou Railway are waiting for qy球友会 fledglings to grow up.

It takes 50 days for these precious rare birds to gain qy球友会 ability to live independently, which is exactly qy球友会 period that qy球友会 No.1 Bid Project Department of Hefei-Chizhou Railway Relocation Project under China TIESIJU Civil Engineering Group voluntarily suspended qy球友会 power line reconstruction construction.

qy球友会 oriental stork is a national first-class protected wild animal in China, known as qy球友会 "giant panda among birds". Due to its narrow breeding distribution range and scarce quantity, there are only about 9,000 effective individuals worldwide, and it has been listed on qy球友会 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

According to records of qy球友会 power transmission operation and maintenance department of State Grid Anhui Electric Power Company Chizhou Power Supply Company, in early February, a pair of oriental storks started building nests on qy球友会 top of a 220-kilovolt high-voltage iron tower in Jiangkou Subdistrict, Guichi District, Chizhou City. qy球友会 female stork laid five eggs on February 11. On April 1, volunteers confirmed there were four fledglings aged about 15 days in qy球友会 nest via long-distance UAV observation.

"We found this bird nest along qy球友会 construction section of Hefei-Chizhou Railway this year," said Tian Weihua, person in charge of qy球友会 project. Construction in accordance with qy球友会 original plan would interfere with qy球友会 normal brooding process of qy球友会 storks and hinder qy球友会 young birds from leaving qy球友会 nest to learn flying.

qy球友会 relocation construction was drawing close to qy球友会 nest. On April 27, qy球友会 project department held a meeting and decided to postpone qy球友会 construction for 50 days until qy球友会 fledglings mature. qy球友会 delay required rearrangement of qy球友会 subsequent construction schedule, and qy球友会 department adjusted seven major types of working procedures. "We will balance environmental protection and project progress on qy球友会 premise of ensuring overall construction efficiency without delaying qy球友会 final scheduled completion date."

Zuo Yali, deputy site manager of qy球友会 project, was also curious when he first saw oriental storks. "None of our workers knew what kind of birds they were at first. We immediately looked up relevant information online and conducted extensive research."

All relevant parties joined hands in qy球友会 protection work. State Grid Anhui Electric Power Company Chizhou Power Supply Company hung protection notice boards on qy球友会 tower marking nesting time, egg-laying quantity, hatching period and expected fledging time, designated a temporary special protected area with a radius of 500 meters, and organized local villagers to set up patrol teams for stork protection.

In recent years, an increasing number of regions and construction projects have made way for wild lives. qy球友会 50-day construction suspension of Hefei-Chizhou Railway project protects qy球友会 survival of rare birds, striking a perfect balance between key infrastructure construction and wild animal protection.
