XI'AN, July 9 (Xinhua) — More than a dozen rare crested ibises have found a new habitat in Qianyang County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, local authorities confirmed Tuesday.

The newly discovered habitat of these rare birds is located in the reservoir area of Zhangjiayuan Township.

Since releasing 30 crested ibises into the wild near the nearby Qianhu Lake wetland in 2014, Qianyang County authorities have created suitable habitat for the ibises by improving habitat protection, increasing patrols and monitoring, and carrying out ecological restoration, which has helped the birds' population grow.

In 2016, the first chicks to hatch in the wild were recorded here. In 2020, a pair of adults had four chicks that survived in the difficult conditions of the wild, which was a new historical maximum. Seven more birds were released into the wild in April 2023.

After more than a decade of conservation efforts, the crested ibis population in Qianhu Lake Wetland has grown to 61 individuals in three generations, demonstrating their ability to fully adapt to the local climate and ecological environment.

The crested ibis, known as the "bird of happiness and harmony" and the "jewel of the East," is an endangered species. -0-
