    Faces a high risk of extinction in the wild.

    The Chinese egret faces threats from habitat loss and degradation, particularly the destruction of coastal wetlands crucial for breeding and foraging. While specific large-scale recovery programs are limited, ongoing conservation efforts in its range countries aim to protect key habitats. Responsible safari tourism can help by raising awareness and providing economic incentives for local communities to protect these vital wetland ecosystems.

    The Chinese egret or Swinhoe's egret is a threatened species of egret from east Asia, first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1860.
