    Scientific Name- Nipponia nippon


    Animal Group- Birds
    Area where its endangered- China, Japan,
    Korea, & Russia
    Current Population- As of 2006, 500
    Diet- Small mammals, fish, frogs, and insects


    Its a large bird that has a tent of pink on its white
    feathers and the feathers on the back of the birds head
    and neck are longer than the rest.
    It has a reddish skin color
    The bird has a strong, dark, and curved bill with a reddish
    tip.
    The birds eye is ringed with yellow and it has a red iris.
    The body length is 56 cm
    Is has short reddish, brownish legs with webbed feet.
    During breeding season for the ibis their neck and upper
    body turn gray.

    Mainly wetlands, but some have moved to mountain
    areas because of human disturbances.
    In the mountain ranges theres not very many forest
    areas, so rice paddies are often used for foraging.
    Habitat Regions- temperate, terrestrial
    Terrestrial Biomes- forest, mountains
    Wetlands- marsh, swamp


    The Japanese crested ibis is now extinct in over most of
    its former range and is now limited to Shaanxi Province
    of China, where it has an extremely small population.
    The population shortage was cause by heavy use of
    agricultural chemicals and overhunting.
    The species was thought to be completely wiped out until
    the only remaining population was discovered in 1981.
    The actual date of the crested ibis being extinct was in
    2003.
    The first reintroduction was in 2008 and animal protective
    agencies are making efforts to breed them in the wild.
    The Environment Ministry, which is in charge of the
    national campaign to save ibises, in 2004 set a goal of 60
    birds in the wild in the eastern district of Ko-Sado Island
    (South Korea) on the island by 2015.
    To achieve the goal, the city of Sado and residents
    started projects to restore the natural environment to help
    or compfort different creatures. Rice farmers were asked
    to cut down the use of pesticides by 50% to make
    conditions where creatures such as loaches and crabs
    could survive in their rice paddies.
    I think the Japanese Crested Ibis should
    be saved because its a rare and unique
    bird that many people have never even
    seen or heard the birds name before.
    I think people in a community should have
    to be apart of endangered species
    conservations like when people have to
    sometimes participate in jury duty.
