Thank you for the good news. Obviously, it's great news, but it's not well reported in the Korean media, so even I, a Korean, didn't know.
On this October 14, Changnyeong county released an additional 40 ibis. Changnyeong county have always released it in May, but this time they released in October, they explained that it was because they referred to the fact that original wild ibis was winter migratory birds in Korea, and the observation, that released ibis died most in the summer.
Of the released 40 ibis, 24 were females, this time more females than males. In the meantime, Changnyeong county released males more than female because males were adapted to the wild better than female, but this time they have released more females for reproducing.
So far, there have been 120 ibis released by Changnyeong county, of which 31 have died. And starting this year, Changnyeong county will be release ibis twice a year to make it easier to reproduce in the wild.
According to media reports, ibis was also observed in Jinju city, where I live. I hope to see ibis often in my hometown.
