This year marks 45 years of conservation efforts for the crested ibis in China. The rare and endangered bird species, native to East Asia and Russia's Siberia, has been brought back from the brink after being presumed extinct in the 1960s. This year, the crested ibis population in Zhejiang Province's Deqing has reached 1000, making it one of the largest artificial breeding bases for the species in China. During breeding season, which typically runs from February through June or August, CGTN's live stream brings wildlife lovers closer to the wonderful spectacle of eggs hatching.
