16. The Northern Bald Ibis

Join us in a captivating episode of the Conservationists Assembled podcast, where we take flight into world of another Europe's reintroduction success stories, the Northern Bald Ibis.

With our guest experts, Juliane Pokorny and Christiane Bohm we journey back in time to discuss the events that caused them to become functionally extinct in the wild. Through hard work, Christiane details the success of the ex situ breeding programme, now managed by Juliane at the Alpenzoo in Innsbruck and the continued reintroduction of Ibis born in zoos back into the wild.

This episode concludes with an emphatic hope for the model of such conservation success to be able to provide similar foundations for reintroductions of other threatened species.
