Threskiornis aethiopicus
Garden Route National Park, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park and Table Mountain National Park are among the 24 atlas places where Threskiornis aethiopicus is recorded. Records of the Sacred Ibis concentrate in South Africa, Taiwan, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Zambia. There are about 259,000 open records from 18 countries, and the map reflects where these records concentrate.
Seasons differ by region because it is recorded in both hemispheres. Each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Sacred Ibis as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
