Abstract

The African Sacred Ibis Threskiornis aethiopicus (Latham, 1790) (Pelecaniformes: Threskiornithidae) is a monotypic species native to sub-Saharan Africa with an estimated population of 200,000 - 450,000 individuals, and a small, declining population located in southeastern Iraq. In the second half of the 20th century, several non-native populations derived from introduction or escaped individuals were recorded in different European states (Yésou et al., 2017).
