Yushu in Qinghai is a home to black-necked cranes(鹤). These cranes travel very far every year. They spend about 5 months in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau(高原).
In March, black-necked cranes will start flying back to Qinghai. Lakes and marshes(湿地) are perfect for them. Although they may fly to other places like forests sometimes, they always come back to the plateau areas.
Life for black-necked cranes is tough as they do not have enough food and the weather changes a lot. Black-necked cranes have a very small population and our country is trying to save them all the time. People in Yushu love these cranes very much. In their tradition, the black-necked cranes are a symbol of good luck. It makes them very popular there.
In fact, getting on well with wild animals is not that difficult. We just need to give them a bit more space so they will have a better chance to thrive(兴旺). People in Yushu are just like that. They are working to help the black-necked cranes live better and make sure these beautiful cranes return to Qinghai every year.
