Yu Xianhuai, a senior engineer at the center, has dedicated six years to wetland protection at the park. He conducts extensive daily patrols and is passionate about bird photography, capturing various bird species and documenting the park's changes over time.

In recent years, Liangping has implemented over 20 ecological restoration projects, which include wetland rehabilitation, ecological migration programs, the establishment of micro-wetland clusters around the lake and aquatic vegetation cultivation. These efforts have helped achieve excellent water quality (Grade III) and greatly enriched the region's biodiversity.
