This study was part of a conservation project that included captive propagation and reintroduction of oriental storks through collaboration of Ecological Institute for Oriental Stork in Korea National University of Education and Yesan Oriental Stork Park. This work was funded as an Ex-situ Conservation Project for Endangered Species by the Ministry of Environment, Cultural Heritage Administration, and local governments of South Korea. The present manuscript was partially supported by a research project funded by National Institute of Ecology (grant number: NIE-B-2021-33).
