Follow the Leader


Austrian biologist Johannes Fritz has dedicated his career to helping northern bald ibises, also called Waldrapp. This rare species of bird was completely extinct in the wild 50 years ago; however, through careful reintroduction, he's been able to “rewild” 277 ibises in his home country. To ensure that they survive the temperatures of the winter, Fritz even taught young birds a new migration path from Austria to Italy with the help of a flying machine.
