The analysis of population number of Oriental Stork in the Tashinskiy wildlife refuge was done by the data of 1998, 2004 and 2008/2009 surveys. The number of nesting pairs in last decade increased by 56,6 %. In July 2008 and March, 2009 90 % of bogs and wetlands (typical nesting sites of Oriental Stork) in Tashinskiy wildlife refuge were investigated. 30 inhabited and 6 uninhabited nests were described. The population of Oriental Stork in Tashinskiy wildlife refuge is estimated approximately 32-37 nesting pairs. The population has potential for further growth and expansion due to plenty of the nest trees and rich food reserve, namely lakes with small-sized fish. The main threats for the nests of storks are storms and forest fires.
