Yang Le, 41, is an associate researcher and deputy director of the Tibet Plateau Institute of Biology. Since graduating from university in 2004, Yang has been dedicated to the research and protection work of wild animals in Lhasa. "I regard black-necked cranes as my children," said Yang. Over the years, Yang has witnessed the continuous increase in the number of black-necked cranes amid the region's thriving biodiversity protection endeavors. Listed as a bird species under national first-class protection, these cranes mainly inhabit plateaus, meadows, marshes, reed swamps, lakeside meadow swamps and river valley swamps at altitudes of 2,500-5,000 meters.

The black-necked crane, a species under first-class state protection in China, mainly inhabits plateau meadows and marshes at an altitude of 2,500 to 5,000 meters. Every year around the time of June, pairs of black-necked cranes migrate to Xainza County to build nests and hatch eggs on grass piers surrounded by water. Black-necked cranes usually lay one or two eggs in every nest, and the incubation period is about 30 days. In recent years, Xizang has continuously strengthened the protection of the habitat of black-necked cranes, and their living environment has been effectively improved. The dotted wetlands in Xainza County have attracted a large number of black-necked cranes to breed their offspring. (Xinhua/Tenzing Nima Qadhup)
