Where does Japanese crane live ?
My territory extends not only over Japan, but also over Russia, Mongolia, China and both Koreas.
Which threats ?
The marshes where I live are transformed into agricultural lands. Dams, roads and pollution degrade my Aboutment. If all my swamps vanish, I will be unable to breed.
