An endangered white-winged duck was scheduled to be released into the wild in Preah Vihear province yesterday, after being rescued earlier this month.
In a statement, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) said the duck was discovered by locals on December 3 next to a watering hole near Prey Veng village.
The bird, which was moulting and unable to fly, was fitted with an identification ring and kept in an enclosure while it re-grew its feathers.
