中华凤头燕鸥 / Chinese Crested Tern

The Chinese crested tern is the endangered bird species discussed in Episode 18: 感官放大世界：和任宁聊观鸟、自然与自由. 任宁 / Ren Ning describes a Zhejiang island breeding project where researchers attract large crested terns with sound playback and decoys because Chinese crested terns tend to mix with them.

The species functions in the wiki as a concrete Conservation Intervention case. It shows that human action can sometimes support threatened species, but only after careful observation of habitat, migration path, colony behavior, disturbance, and monitoring evidence.
