About the author
Zhong Jia is a former senior editor at the overseas edition of People's Daily who remains active in birdwatching and nature education. She received a second prize of the China News Award and the title of National Outstanding Journalist, and has been birdwatching since 1997, traveling to every province, autonomous region and municipality in China. She edited the grassroots publication China Birdwatch for 18 years and now serves as honorary chair of the Joint Action Platform of Chinese Birdwatching Organizations (Zhuquehui). Her writing draws on everyday observation to connect bird behavior and reserve ecology with public science, in plain language with a strong sense of place. Her books, including Waiting for the Wolf: Seeking Treasures in Nature Reserves and the Nature Detective series, use familiar settings such as residential compounds and grasslands to help readers notice nearby bird stars and ecological details, combining scientific knowledge with humanistic care.
