The wattled crane is a globally vulnerable species due habitat loss from river dams and the wild bird trade with an estimated 200 birds remaining in natural habitat. In Tanzania it is found in the wetlands of the south. The image above was taken in Lukula (Selous) in July 2010, courtesy of Mark Johnson; roll your cursor over the enlargement to see another. Some of the other images were made at the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, Wisconsin, USA. |
