The Flight of the Bald Ibis - Go Wild

But behind this curious-looking project is the story of a species persecuted to the point of total extinction in Europe.

Once a familiar sight in southern Central Europe and Turkey, the only wild populations, each of them dwindling, have survived in Morocco and Arabia. Yet this is a story of hope.
