White-naped Craneマナヅル
Antigone vipioVU— Vulnerable
The white-naped crane is a large, slender crane named for the white stripe running down the back of its grey neck, breeding across northeastern Mongolia, China, and southeastern Russia before migrating to winter in Japan and the Korean Peninsula. Listed as Vulnerable, it faces mounting pressure from wetland loss, and roughly half of Japan's wintering population crowds into the Izumi Plain in Kagoshima Prefecture.

Species Data
Did You Know?
- Nearly half of the world's white-naped cranes winter in the small Izumi Plain area of Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, a concentration that raises serious concern about the risk of disease outbreaks wiping out a large share of the population at once. Source
- As of 2018, an estimated 3,700 to 4,500 mature individuals remained in the wild, with Mongolia holding at least half the population; chicks fledge 70 to 75 days after hatching and reach sexual maturity between 2 and 3 years of age. Source
