As of recent estimates, the population of crested ibises in Japan is around 500 individuals. These birds, once on the brink of extinction, have been successfully reintroduced through conservation efforts, primarily in the Sado Island region. Continued habitat protection and breeding programs are crucial for their survival and increasing numbers.
The Japanese Crested Ibis is an inhabitant of the majority of Asia, to include China, Japan, and many others.
