Yushu, Qinghai Province, is one of the habitats for black-necked cranes(黑颈鹤), who have very long necks and their necks are black. That's why they are called black-necked cranes. Cranes travel very far every year. They spend about 5 months in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau(高原).
Starting in March, black-necked cranes will fly back to Qinghai. There are lakes and marshes(沼泽), perfect for them to live in. Year after year, black-necked cranes may fly to other places, but they always come back to the plateau
areas.
Their life is difficult, because they don't have enough food and the weather changes very often. Black-necked cranes have a very small population. They are under first-class state protection in China. Local people treat the birds with love. In local tradition, they are a symbol of good luck, so they are very popular.
It is not hard to get along with these wild animals. Just give them a little more space. They can have a bigger chance to thrive(兴旺). People in Qinghai are working very hard to make sure the black-necked cranes live better.
