XI'AN, July 9 (Xinhua) — More than a dozen rare crested ibises have found a new habitat in Qianyang County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, local authorities confirmed Tuesday.

The newly discovered habitat of these rare birds is located in the reservoir area of Zhangjiayuan Township.

Since releasing 30 crested ibises into the wild near the nearby Qianhu Lake wetland in 2014, Qianyang County authorities have created suitable habitat for the ibises by improving habitat protection, increasing patrols and monitoring, and carrying out ecological restoration, which has helped the birds' population grow.

In 2016, the first chicks to hatch in the wild were recorded here. In 2020, a pair of adults had four chicks that survived in the difficult conditions of the wild, which was a new historical maximum. Seven more birds were released into the wild in April 2023.

After more than a decade of conservation efforts, the crested ibis population in Qianhu Lake Wetland has grown to 61 individuals in three generations, demonstrating their ability to fully adapt to the local climate and ecological environment.

The crested ibis, known as the "bird of happiness and harmony" and the "jewel of the East," is an endangered species. -0-

BEIJING, July 9 (Xinhua) — The Qingdao Institute of Technology recently held a cultural forum titled "Unity in the Hot Summer: China-Russia Cultural Dialogue Day." The event brought together Chinese and Russian students from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Institute of Trade and Economics and Baikal National University (Russia).

As reported on the official website of the institute, the program included five interactive blocks for in-depth understanding of cultures. Students immersed themselves in traditional Chinese holidays: they studied symbols of prosperity – paired New Year inscriptions, scarlet lanterns and red envelopes, tasted traditional Chinese products – yuanxiao, zongzi and mooncakes, discovering the gastronomic culture of China.

At the calligraphy exhibition, guests appreciated the charm of hieroglyphs written in the free style of cursive writing “caoshu”, and during the master class they enjoyed mastering the technique of writing with a brush, comprehending the magic of Chinese writing.

There was also a master class on making dumplings in the institute canteen.

The forum has become a bright practice for developing intercultural communications and expanding the global outlook of students. It is not only a bright cultural presentation, but also a deep “dialogue of hearts” that has strengthened the friendship between the youth of China and Russia. -0-

Aden, Yemen, July 9 (Xinhua) — Three sailors were killed and two others were wounded when Yemeni Houthi militants attacked a Liberian-flagged cargo ship in the Red Sea, a Yemeni navy spokesman told Xinhua on Tuesday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Houthi militants attacked the Greek-owned vessel Eternity C at 20:00 local time /1700 GMT/ on Monday in the Red Sea, just hours after the group claimed responsibility for the sinking of another ship, the bulk carrier Magic Seas.

The official said Houthi militants boarded the Eternity C in an attempt to seize the vessel, sparking violent clashes with the ship's crew that left three sailors dead and two others wounded.

The collision caused significant damage to the ship's turret, leaving the vessel adrift and the surviving crew members forced to abandon ship, the official said.

The latest incident was the second major attack since the Houthi group claimed to have sunk the Magic Seas, also a Liberian-flagged vessel.

The Magic Seas was carrying about 17,000 metric tons of ammonium nitrate, a chemical commonly used in the production of fertilizers and explosives, a Yemeni official said.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria said on Monday that the attack on the Magic Seas was in response to the shipowner's "repeated violations" of a Houthi ban on entering Israeli ports.

The Houthi group has so far made no statements or comments regarding the Eternity C attack. –0–
