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.
Santora is a one year old male Northern Bald Ibis. In 2016, he was hand-raised and released in Tuscany. This year, Santora started to migrate between the wintering site in Tuscany and the breeding site in Salzburg. At the end of September, Santora was on his way back towards south. On September 27th at 09:00 am, he departed from his night roost near Prato, heading to a site 2 km away were he used to look for food since his arrival a few days ago.
