The Northern Bald Ibis is a migratory bird which was native in Central Europe until the 17th century, before it became extinct due to the huge hunting pressure. Today the Northern Bald Ibis is one of the most endangered bird species worldwide. In the context of an EU project (LIFE+ Biodiversity), with partners in Austria, Italy and Germany, the species is to be reintroduced in Europe.
Support our project by adopting a Northern Bald Ibis for a year.
All donors get an adoption certificate with a picture and the name of the adopted bird and a small thank you gift.
In November 2018, five members of the LIFE project for the reintroduction of the Northern Bald Ibis joined the 2nd International Wildlife Reintroduction Conference in Chicago, organised by the IUCN Reintroduction Specialist Group and attended by conservationists from all over the world.
The Northern Bald Ibis was downlisted in the IUCN red list of endangered species and is returning to Europe
Since 1994, the Northern Bald Ibis (NBI) was categorized as critically endangered in the IUCN Red List. Now, after 24 years, its status changed. Since August 2018, the NBI is now categorized as endangered.
