RED-CROWNED CRANE
(Grus japonensis)
A staff member trains Red-crowned Cranes to fly at the crane breeding and wilderness centre of the Zhalong state-level nature reserve in Qiqihar, in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. A total of 58 of them were hatched in the centre by July of this year. Staff members are training them to fly, hunt and survive and then release them to join the wild crane population and migrate with them. The Zhalong Nature Reserve covers 2,100 sq. km. and began almost 40 years ago in 1979.
