China and Japan, Like Birds in a Nest



      Focus on Nature Tours, FONT, has a fantastic website with conservation information, and beautiful pictures of birds of Japan. 

      The story of the reintroduction of the beautiful Crested Ibis to the Japanese Island of Sado with China's assistance is moving, breaking news, a poignant, true tale of heartbreaking extinction under humanity's watch, and international collaboration at its very best between two nations which are more often portrayed in the news as at each other's throats, and indifferent to nature than cooperating, and sharing to make wild bird conservation happen successfully. Just scroll down the link page; it is a story worth reading about,  knowing about, and supporting. 
     
      I post this link here because it is informative, but also as a clear example where the "Crow", but more likely the Jungle Crow in actuality, has footed the blame for man's misdeeds.  The big black birds may have played their natural part, but they did not drive the Japanese Crested Ibis to extinction, humanity did.
     
      FONT, I am writing to you on behalf of Crows to request that you clarify the facts behind the Japanese Crested Ibis' demise on your website, and I will post your reply here.
