  • Chinese kraanvogel
  • red-crowned crane

Red list status :  Vulnerable

 

The Red-crowned Crane (Grus japonensis), an iconic and endangered species, has an estimated population of around 1,830–2,000 individuals in the wild. They primarily inhabit two main regions: Hokkaido, Japan, where they are year-round residents, and parts of China, Russia, and the Korean Peninsula, where they are migratory. These areas of habitat are increasingly impacted by threats like habitat loss and environmental changes, particularly in the migratory populations.

In captivity, Red-crowned Cranes are maintained in zoos and bird sanctuaries worldwide, with approximately 1,000 individuals held in managed care globally. Many of these captive populations are part of coordinated breeding programs in zoos across North America, Europe, and Asia, which contribute to both conservation education and genetic diversity efforts for the species.
