Describe the results/achievements of the activities
The Handbook on Cranes and Agriculture: Humans and Cranes Sharing the Landscape was distilled into a summary document that is more user friendly and therefore more accessible for practical implementation for conservationists, farmers, and locally based decision makers. It is available in English and Chinese and is available on various platforms for download. It was shared across a number of distribution lists internationally.
A research project was initiated in 2024 across Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda to better understand the damage cranes cause to crops (seasonality, type of crop, and growth stage), the perceptions of human-crane conflict from farmers, to identify and map the key poisoning and human-crane conflict areas, and to test various crop deterrent methods to prevent human-crane conflict.
