A census, simultaneously taken by all of the countries, shows that a platalea minor(back-faced spoonbill) is such a rare bird that its population is 1,500 individuals only throughout the world (Yu, 2004). The geographical distribution of the spoonbill spreads in the area of Northeast Asia coast. At present, it is known that the spoonbill breeds at the western area of Koran Peninsula and some uninhabited island of Liaoningsheng in China. Also, it is reported that the spoonbill passes winter as a group at the southern area of Koran Peninsula, Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam (Birdlife International(2001). By the way, in 1968, Korean administration designated the spoonbill as a natural monument (#205), and in 1999 designated the foreshore of the Ganghwa island as a natural monument (#419) so as to preserve the main habitat. And also, the spoonbill was designated in 1998 as endangered species by the Ministry of Environment. |
