Claim: In 2006, the Channel Point Coastal Reserve was first developed, and now it is the home of wild animals such as magpie geese (Anseranas semipalmata), glossy ibis (Plegadis falcinellus), and royal spoonbills (Platalea regia).
Evidence: The infrastructure development was commenced in 2006 and completed shortly afterward. The area contains habitat for many species of birds including royal spoonbills, magpie geese, plumed whistling-duck, grey teal and glossy ibis. The magpie goose (Anseranas semipalmata) is the sole living representative species of the family Anseranatidae. The glossy ibis (Plegadis falcinellus) is a wading bird in the ibis family Threskiornithidae. The royal spoonbill (Platalea regia) also known as the black-billed spoonbill, occurs in intertidal flats and shallows of fresh and saltwater wetlands in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.
