The zoo program brought North America's last 23 surviving milky storks to a habitat at the Safari Park more than two years ago.
A team of conservationists has been working to aid birds previously living in wildlife facilities in North America to produce new chicks. The world's population of milky storks has fallen substantially since the late 1980s, a zoo official said. Scientists said the decline in the bird's population was brought about by habitat destruction and deforestation from human activities such as fish farming, rice cultivation, human resettlement and increased wildlife trafficking.
In 2008, the birds' global population dropped to less than 2,200, alarming conservationists and leading them to change their status to endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's red list of threatened species.
