Preface This report on Black-necked Crane is the result of intensive studies and surveys in the harsh and unique environment of Ladakh. There are several fi ndings which will be of great interest to ornithologists and particularly people working on cranes. The report takes into account the interest of the general reader and therefore has the fi rst two chapters accounting for general information on the cranes of the world and the Black-necked Crane respectively. The essence of the report lies in the chapter giving account of the survey observations from almost all the wetlands of eastern Ladakh, where the Black-necked Cranes are known to breed and feed. Such an exhaustive survey is the fi rst ever to be conducted in all the 22 wetlands in this region. The information generated from the current survey has been put in perspective against past studies and a detailed analysis has been carried out. The section on the threats to the breeding cranes and the fi nal chapter on recommendations should be of particular interest to conservation planners. This report puts into one place most of the important research related to status, breeding productivity and conservation of the Black-necked Crane in the Ladakh region of India. It is hoped that the report will not only be a source of reference for researchers but also will be of help to planners and other stakeholders in conservation and management of the species and its habitat. It is also hoped that this research will inspire further in-depth work on this unique species and the ecosystems that support it. Authors
