The black-faced spoonbill is considered the flagship species of waterbird conservation in East Asia. It's classified as a globally endangered species and is under class one protection in China.
In 2015, only 34 black-faced spoonbills were recorded in Sibi Bay. By 2025, that number has soared to 120 - a nearly fourfold increase.
