The saddle-billed stork inhabits extensive fresh, brackish or alkaline wetlands in open, semi-arid areas and savanna, with relatively high abundances of fish, and with large trees nearby for nesting and roosting, although it avoids deeply forested areas. The population is estimated to number 25,000 individuals at most. ("The IUCN red list of threatened species, Cambridge, 2016)
