The Oriental white stork is a national first-class protected wild animal with very high requirements for its habitat and breeding environment.

In recent years, Jiaohe has intensified its ecological management and wetland restoration efforts in the Songhua Lake Basin. Regular water source protection, patrol supervision, and wildlife protection advocacy have been conducted to optimize the ecological space of rivers, lakes, and wetlands.
