CHINA-TIANJIN-ORIENTAL WHITE STORKS-RELEASE (CN)
(231118) -- TIANJIN, Nov. 18, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This combo photo shows staff members releasing oriental white storks into the wild at Qilihai Wetland in north China's Tianjin, Nov. 18, 2023. A total of 11 rescued oriental white storks and more than 100 other birds were released into the wild at Qilihai Wetland in north China's Tianjin on Saturday.
The oriental white stork, a migratory bird under first-class state protection, has been listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
A dozen days ago, several oriental white storks were stranded amidst a cold wave that struck Jilin and were successfully rescued thereafter. Having missed the local migratory season, these birds were transfered to Tianjin and released into the wild there so that they might catch up with flocks of their kind. (Xinhua/Li Ran)
