Platalea minor Temminck & Schlegel 1849

This Black-faced spoonbill died from habitat pollution by the botulinum toxin in 2002, and was donated by Tainan County government. The Black-faced spoonbills are very rare and only distributed on the east coast of Asia. Their biggest wintering habitat, Tainan Chiku Black-faced Spoonbill Protected Area, was just becoming the newest National Park. The Taijiang National Park symbolized the victory of coastal area and wetland conservation of Taiwan.
