The crested ibis, a precious bird species in China, is nationally protected and often called the "Oriental gem." As breeding season begins again, this once critically endangered species has made a remarkable comeback after more than 40 years of dedicated conservation efforts. The "Oriental gem" has now spread far beyond its original home in Yangxian County, Shaanxi Province, reaching regions across China, as well as Japan and South Korea.

We invite viewers to witness new life emerging in Shaanxi, Zhejiang and Henan provinces. Join CGTN for more coverage of this year's hatching season.
