China ~ Bird Maximum Card

The Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon), at one time was widespread in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan and Russia. It has now disappeared from most of its former range. The last wild Crested Ibis in Japan died in 2013, with the remaining wild population found only in Shaanxi province of China until reintroduction of captive bred birds back into Japan in 2008. They were previously though to be extinct in China too, until 1981 when only seven ibises were seen in Shaanxi, China.
The Brown Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon mantchuricum), it is listed on Appendix I of CITES.
Red-crowned Crane (Grus japonensis), also called the Japanese Crane or Manchurian Crane, it is known as a symbol of luck, longevity and fidelity.
