For Reviving the White-bellied Heron: A Collaborative Ex Situ Conservation between the Japan Team and the Royal Society for Protection of Nature in Bhutan (IMAGE)
Caption
With fewer than 60 White-bellied Herons left globally, a collaborative effort between Professor Satoshi Shimano's team from Japan and the White-bellied Heron Conservation Center, the Royal Society for Protection of Nature in Bhutan has successfully hand-reared two chicks. These chicks were added to the captive population, increasing the total to five birds expected to be the founders of the captive breeding population.
