    (240524) -- SEOUL, May 24, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This undated file photo shows a released crested ibis near Changnyeong, South Korea. The crested ibis, which used to be widely distributed in China, Japan, South Korea and other East Asian regions, has become an endangered bird species worldwide, rarely seen in South Korea since the 1980s. In 2008, the crested ibis couple "Yang Zhou" and "Long Ting" arrived and settled down at the Upo Crested Ibis Restoration Center in Changnyeong as a gift from China to South Korea. Another two male crested ibises "Jin Shui" and "Bai Shi" were sent to South Korea in 2013. Years of hard work has seen over 500 offspring of the four crested ibises given birth to in South Korea, of which more than 300 were successfully released into the wild. In 2021, two crested ibis chicks were bred in the wild in South Korea, which is the first time in more than 4 decades that the birth of wild crested ibis was observed in the country.

          IAEA Approves Plan For Water Release - Fukushima

          Handout photo shows Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), watches fish tanks after signing agreements to cooperate with Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) on information exchange to raise marine life, as TEPCO President Tomoaki Kobayakawa signs his copy while they were visiting a lab at the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant in Okuma on July 5, 2023. UN watchdog has said that Japan's plan to release waste water from the tsunami-wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea complies with international standards. The International Atomic Energy Agency says the release will have a "negligible" impact on the environment. The Fukushima facility is running out of storage space for the water, which was used to cool nuclear reactors. Japan's plan has been opposed by China and South Korea.
