Storm's stork (Ciconia stormi) is a medium-sized stork species that occurs primarily in lowland tropical forests of Indonesia, Malaysia and southern Thailand. It is considered to be the rarest of all storks,[2] and is estimated to number less than 500 wild individuals throughout its geographic range.[1] The population has long been in decline and the primary cause is widely considered to be deforestation of its native habitat.[1]
