Red-crowned cranes, an endangered species, spend the winter in Cheorwon, Gangwon-do, and return to Siberia in spring.

However, a young red-crowned crane is separated from the herd and is left alone, endangering its life.



Reporter Jae-seong Mo of G1 Broadcasting reported.

A bird with gray feathers and clear red eyes.



It is an internationally endangered species and Natural Monument No. 203 Red-crowned crane.



However, the young red-crowned crane has been living alone for over a month.



Every autumn, he visits the Cheorwon Plains and returns to Siberia before May at the latest, but he was left alone as he was separated from the group.



This is the first time in Cheorwon, where red-crowned cranes winter collectively.



[Seo Gyeong-won/Resident: We have discussed with the Crane Conservation Association, but there is still no rescue.

I hope that the cranes can be safely rescued as soon as possible.]



Local residents are afraid that it will affect the red-crowned cranes, so they are unable to apply pesticides to farmland.



Joint control is also urgent, but young red-eyed cranes are trampled in the snow and cannot do this or that.



The Cultural Heritage Administration, which manages natural monuments, is passive because there are no related regulations.



[Cultural Heritage Administration official (voice alteration): Right now, this is still the first case, and we do not know what will happen in the future, so if it seems like this case will become more frequent after watching it in the future...

The hearts of the residents watching the red-crowned cranes burn.



This is because it is not easy to survive in an unfamiliar environment alone due to the nature of red-crowned cranes that live in groups.



[Choi Jong-soo / Vice President of Crane Council, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do: If you look, we need to remove this paddy field.

About 3,000 sq.

The rest should not be pesticides.

In order to do that, the government or NGO groups must actively step in to prevent harm to the farmers…

It seems urgent to come up with joint measures for red-crowned cranes, such as related organizations and environmental groups.
