THE DECLINING OF BLUE CRANES IN NAMIBIA

--Sartie k (talk) 18:22, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

According to Hines (1996) there are 15 species of Cranes in the world of which 6 species are found in Africa , of these three occurs in Namibia are the Blue Crane (Anthropoides paradiseus ), the Wattled Crane ( Bugeranus carunculatus ) ,and the Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum ). The Blue Crane is one of the world’s most range-restricted crane species and is endemic to Southern Africa .Etosha National Park in Namibia serves as a breeding area for a small and isolated population of blue cranes. The Namibian population of Blue cranes had been recorded between the Ekuma River and Andoni within the grassland around the grass land around the Omadhiya Lake System and around the main Etosha pan. Blue Crane are critically endangered in Namibia as their population is quite low as there is about 30 seen in the Andoni plain inside Etosha . They are declining due to human activities and predation such as Black backed jackal. People that stay outside the Etosha National park in the Omadhiya lake system they do feed on them and some use them for medicinal purposes, used for traditional healing. Kings also use them for decoration on their hats. This lead to the declining of their number as there is an increase in human population due to increased rainfall and flooding that forced people to go settle there for grazing and fishing. Blue cranes are also caught in power line or fences. That’s why their population is declining. Therefore actions need to be taken in account to increase Blue cranes population in Namibia.

Hello, I'm O.Koslowski. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made to Wikipedia:School and university projects/Polytechnic of Namibia/Information Competence, September 2012/Distance students (COLL), because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, O.Koslowski (talk) 18:25, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Sandbox

Hi there,

you may want to use the sandbox for a while. With your edits you're removing the old text completely, which is something I don't think you intend to do.
