What's a Waldrapp? Hint: It's a breeding endemic bird of Morocco
Northern Bald Ibis by Steve Bird. The Northern Bald Ibis (aka Waldrapp) is the one of the shining stars of Morocco. Once widespread, today the Bald Ibis is one of the rarest and most critically endangered of all migratory birds. There are thought to be perhaps 500 wild birds left in Morocco. Reintroduction programs meant to establish viable populations are underway.
