Shanghai is not just a metropolis, but a bioregion with over 100 wetlands. Through the research on wetlands, we observed tree ecology, aquatic ecology and other communities, and found that it is flying insects with spreading properties that link these ecological communities, large or small.
Among these insects, we noticed that flies, which are routinely neglected by the urban ecosphere, happen to be crucial to the wetland ecosphere. They have the ability to spread pollination like bees, and at the same time, as an important member of the wetland food chain, they are the best insects to digest decaying organisms.
Therefore, in this design, we focus on the flies in the wetland, and reflect the ecology of the wetland by displaying the diversity of colors and patterns of the flies in the wetland (distinguishing the most common housefly population in the city) The diversity of species in the wetland biosphere has attracted people's attention to some easily overlooked but very important biological groups in the wetland biosphere.

After 1986, Jiangwan was closed for a long time, resulting in a biotope with little human disturbance and a near "pristine" composition of species. Later, a group of experts from various disciplines from the Shanghai Museum of Nature conducted an ecological and species survey of the new Jiangwan City. The survey found that on the former Jiangwan Airport, forest-irrigated, forested, wetland and farmland ecological environments have come back, and 36 species of birds are now fluttering and soaring in the area, accounting for more than 88% of the number of summer bird species in Shanghai, more than in the Sheshan area; among them are three species of national Class II protected birds, 12 species of precious birds under the Sino-Japanese Migratory Bird Protection Agreement, as well as the newly discovered Little Cuckoo, a rare urban bird In the water bodies of the three green areas, seven species of fish were found, among which the stickleback fish and the stripe-eating fish are rare in the city, and the gray bar snail and the back-horned skink mussel have been extinct in the city.
