3、Before 1981, when seven crested ibis were accidentally found in Yangxian county, in NorthwestChinas Shaanxi provinee, academics thought the species had been extinct in China for almost 17 years.Due to the huge effort put into species protecti on since 1981, the nu mber ofcrested ibis in China has ri

5、the State ConservationCen ter for Gene Resources of Endan gered Wildlife at Zhejia ng Un iversity.Orn ithologistsused in breed ing in the early stages of protect ion so that nu mbersof the precious birds could in crease quickly, but that method had con seque nces, Fang said.Studies have proved that

6、as a result of inbreeding, crested ibis have the lowest gen etic diversity ofall endan gered birds, Fang said.It means a high death rate and more physical defects for hatched chicks.The government should collect genetic information from all crested ibis and establish a geneticdatabase as soon as pos

7、sible, then design a scientific mating plan for the species, Fang said.So far, about 90 percent of crested ibis live in Shaanxi province, and fewer than 140 ibis live in threezoos in other parts of the country, including Beijing Zoo, according to Liu Dongping, an assistant- 2 -researcher at the Nati

10、ibis feed,are believed to be the main reasons for the sharp reduction in the ibis population before 1981.So, in 1983, a State-level natural reserve was set up in Shaanxi province to protect the bird. But thestruggle for living space between human and animal has never stopped, said Lu Baozhong, deput

11、ydirector of the Shaanxi Crested Ibis Conservation Station.For example, ibis often look for loaches in farmers rice fields. Sometimes their claws trample therice seedlings. In another case, villagers discovered some land with abundant mineral resources whichhappened to be a habitat for ibis, said Lu
