Preserve and protect an endangered specie – Asian Woollyneck (white woolly-neck stroke)

 

The Asian woollyneck or white-necked stork (Ciconia episcopus) is found across South Asia and Southeast Asia. This specie has undergone considerable population declines owed to factors such as hunting, habitat degradation, and pollution from agriculture. The fact findings from the Thai research team revealed that the Asian woollyneck has not been found in Thailand for the last 30 years and is listed as critically endangered.

 

PHC has incorporated with the National Research Council of Thailand and Khao Kheow Open Zoo to research and study the Asian woollyneck (white woolly-neck stroke) to preserve and breed this critically endangered specie in Thailand. This sustainable development program takes about 6 years commencing from 2021 until 2026.
