The crested ibis, a national treasure of Japan, has made its historic return to Honshu with its first release in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture this May.
This reintroduction marks a pivotal moment in ongoing efforts to revive the species, which had vanished from Japan. The environment ministry is set to roll out an enhanced strategy aimed at establishing a sustainable population and expanding their natural habitat.
