CHINA-ORIENTAL WHITE STORKS-RELEASE INTO WILD (CN)
(240109) -- SHENYANG, Jan. 9, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Wang Weiyan (L), head of Shenyang Raptor Rescue Center, prepares to transfer oriental white storks at the Taoxian International Airport in Shenyang, northeast China's Liaoning Province, Jan. 6, 2024. Three oriental white storks were stranded in Shenyang during their migration due to injuries and food poisoning November, 2023. They were later rescued and sent for treatment at Shenyang Raptor Rescue Center.
The three birds, when cured, were not released immediately into the wild in Shenyang due to the cold weather there. They were instead transferred to east China's Jiangxi and released at Poyang Lake Wetland Park, one of their natural habitats.
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. (Xinhua/Yang Qing)
