More than 50 Dalmatian pelicans, one of the endangered species, were spotted in a wetland in Dongtai County recently. The Dalmatian pelican is a large white waterfowl. It is listed as a "vulnerable" species in the IUCN endangered species list. With its number decreasing year by year, its population has been reduced to the range of 10,000 to 20,000 in the world. The discovery of the Dalmatian pelican reflects the excellent wetland ecological environment of wetland in north Jiangsu.
