Subsequently, under the guidance of the Ninghe District Forestry Bureau, the chicks were sent to local volunteers with experience in the protection and rescue of Oriental White Storks for treatment and care. After a period of careful care, the three chicks have reached the condition for release into the wild.
The Oriental White Stork is a Class I protected animal in China. The three Oriental White Storks were fitted with satellite trackers upon their return to the wild, and staff will continuously monitor them to better understand their activities and health.
