朱鹮，这一中国独有的 “鸟类活化石”，宛如从历史深处翩翩飞来的祥瑞之鸟。1981年，中国拥有世界上唯一的野生朱鹮种群。
The Crested Ibis, known as a "living fossil of birds" unique to China, is like an auspicious bird gracefully flying out of the depths of history. In 1981, China became home to the world's only wild population of Crested Ibis.
朱鹮因其优雅的体态和独特的朱红色羽毛而极具观赏性。飞行时，朱鹮头前脚后，翅膀缓慢扇动；行走时脚步轻盈；休息时头上的羽冠随风飘动。
With its elegant posture and distinctive crimson feathers, the Crested Ibis is exceptionally captivating. In flight, its head leads, legs trail behind, and its wings move slowly and gracefully. On the ground, its steps are light and nimble, while its crest sways gently in the breeze as it rests.
曾几近消失于历史长河，幸得科研人员与民众全力守护，在陕南的洋县湿地、山林间寻得生机。
Once on the brink of extinction, this ancient species has been brought back from the edge thanks to the tireless efforts of researchers and local communities. Its survival was rediscovered in the wetlands and forests of Yangxian County in southern Shaanxi.
朱鹮主要栖息于中国陕西南部的汉中盆地，那里山清水秀，气候温润，河流、稻田与沼泽湿地交织纵横，为朱鹮提供了丰富的食物来源和适宜的栖息环境。
The Crested Ibis primarily resides in the Hanzhong Basin in southern Shaanxi, where clear mountains and flowing waters intertwine with rivers, rice fields, and marsh wetlands. This environment provides abundant food and a perfect habitat for the species.
这片土地的水田、溪流，滋养着朱鹮，也见证着古老物种的复苏。
These fertile lands, with their streams and rice paddies, not only nourish the Crested Ibis but also bear witness to the revival of this ancient bird species.
