???? 南沙濕地位于南沙開發區最南端，地處珠江出海口西岸，面積2200公頃。每天有上萬只共26科近100種鳥類在此覓食、繁衍、棲息。每年冬季，還有10萬多只候鳥從北方飛來過冬，形成珠江三角洲難得一見的鳥類天堂，成為候鳥遷徙的補給和中轉站。

　　南沙濕地的形成，大致經歷了3個階段：上世紀80年代，圍墾公司在圍海造地過程中，注重農耕水養的產業結構，在圍內養殖蝦、蟹、魚等水產品，種植紅樹林和蘆葦等植物，以及種植蓮藕、香蕉、甘蔗等農作物，保持了土地良好的原始狀態，形成了濕地的雛形。上世紀90年代，圍墾公司在核心區原有基礎上增種大量紅樹，完善有關設施，并成立專門的管理機構，培養了一支長期駐守濕地、具有豐富管理經驗的專業隊伍，長期對鳥類進行監測保護。

　　南沙開發建設后，政府高度重視濕地的保護，加大資金投入，實施退耕還林、增加植物品種等措施，保持了濕地面積。目前，濕地核心區（即濕地公園）已適度對外開放，人們可在這里感受到曲水蘆葦蕩、鳥息紅樹林。

■Nansha Wetland

　　Nansha Wetland, 2,200 hectares in area, is located on the southernmost tip of Nansha Economic and Technical Development Zone and on the west bank of the Pearl River estuary. More than 100 different kinds of birds of 26 species flock in everyday in tens of thousands to search food, mate and rest here. Each winter, over 100,000 migratory birds also fly in from the North to spend the winter here, making it a bird heaven rarely seen in the Pearl River Delta, as well as a replenishment and transfer station for the migratory birds.

　　The formation of Nansha Wetland has undergone three stages. The first stage dated back to the 1980s when inning companies adopted the agricultural structure of plowing up the land for crops and leaving the waters for aquiculture in the process of land reclamation. They planted mangroves and reed and cultivated lotus roots, bananas and sugar canes around lakes that breed shrimps, crabs and fishes, thus the original state of the land was well protected and a rudimentary wetland began to take shape. The second stage went back to the 1990s during which inning companies planted much more mangroves, completed the infrastructure construction and set up a special organization made up of experienced professionals who settled down in the wetland to constantly monitor and protect the birds. Since Nansha Economic and Technical Development Zone was founded, the government has been paying more attention to wetland protection by increasing investment, converting farmland to forest and introducing more species of plants.

　　The core area of wetland (The Wetland Park) is now open moderately to the public where people can enjoy the beautiful scenery of reed swaying in the winding waters and birds resting amid the tranquil mangroves forest.
