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.
