Javan Heron: The Wetland Dancer
The Javan heron, an elegant bird native to Southeast Asia, is often seen wading through wetlands in search of fish and insects. With its slender body and long legs, the heron moves gracefully through the water, often standing motionless for minutes before striking at prey.
These birds are vital to wetland ecosystems, controlling fish and insect populations. However, wetland destruction threatens their survival. Conservationists are working to preserve these critical habitats to ensure the heron's future.
