황새 (Oriental Stork)

Storks are natural monuments No. 199 and are a rare bird with only 2,500 left in the world as the first class of endangered wild animals. Wild storks, which used to be resident birds in Korea, last disappeared in 1994, and now some individuals visit Korea from Amur, Russia for winter.

 

Yesan-gun has returned storks to nature every year for the safe natural settlement of storks since September 2015

when eight storks raised in Yesan Stork Park were released naturally for the first time in the country.
