View original imageChangnyeong County in South Gyeongsang Province announced on July 11 that it had captured images of a third-generation released juvenile Oriental stork, which was the first to successfully breed in the wild near Upo Wetland, foraging together with a second-generation released adult Oriental stork (its parent) in a rice paddy.
The Upo Oriental stork observed this time was discovered after successfully fledging on July 1. This individual is significant because it marks the first successful natural breeding in the Korean Peninsula in 46 years since extinction, representing the true restoration that Changnyeong County ultimately aims to achieve.
