Northern bald ibis (Geronticus eremita)
Range
Historically found throughout central Europe, North Africa and the Middle East (6). The bald ibis was thought to be confined to Morocco at the Souss-Massa National Park and at nearby Tamri (5), until an additional small colony was rediscovered in central Syria in 2002 (7). A semi-wild population also exists in Birecik, southeast Turkey, close to the Syrian border (8).
