Endangered Species Act: Wood Stork

April 25, 2023

The Wood Stork represents a significant milestone as we continue to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act. These large wading birds are the only species of stork breeding in the U.S. and can be found roosting in colonies within the forested wetlands, cypress swamps, and marshes of the southeastern coastal plain. Once listed as federally endangered, the species is now making a comeback and has been proposed for delisting thanks to increased protection of their habitat and the critical ecosystems that they rely on.
