              Cranes are abundance indicators of wetland ecosystems. There is one specie of crane that use to be extinct from local habitat in Thailand about 50 years ago, the Eastern Sarus Cranes.

​

              Nowadays, with assistance from conservation organisation, the Eastern Sarus Cranes came back to re-habitat in the wetland again and can reproduce in nature in 2016. As a result, the area is compliant with the criteria of Convention on Wetlands treaty or Ramsar Conservation.

​

              This project offers guidelines to encourage restoration of the intrusive and developed wetland which cause changes and loss of wetland’s conditions, and define conservation area of wetland for re-habitation of Eastern Sarus Cranes. Moreover, the project includes creating conservation and restoration spaces for reintroducing Eastern Sarus Cranes before releasing them to the nature, and also making the area as a natural learning resource and being used by local communities sustainably, natural dependence and reuniting the communities and nature.
