Abstract

The research explores the current and future conservation regime, and local population ecology of globally threatened water bird Sarus Crane ( Grus antigone antigone ) in Rupandehi, and Kapilvastu districts of Nepal. The study strongly recommended to declaring certain areas of these districts as a Sarus Crane Conservation Area (SCCA) for its future better management regime. A total of 168 Sarus Cranes were recorded in the area (100 in Rupandehi and 68 in Kapilvastu district). Overall population density of Sarus Crane was 9.3 individual/100 km 2 . Seventy percent of Sarus Cranes were using farmland while 30% using wetland as a regular habitat. Current threats to the Sarus Crane population are habitat loss and degradation, high electrical cable line, sugar cane cultivation surrounding the Sarus crane habitat, dam and cementation in water canal, water pollution due to nutrients and chemical leakage in water bodies, environmental contamination and other anthropogenic causes. Key words: Sarus crane, threatened, low land, wetlands DOI: 10.3126/jowe.v3i0.2224 Journal of Wetlands Ecology , (2009) Vol. 3, pp 1-11

尼泊尔中西部地区鹤的保护制度和种群生态学

本研究探讨了尼泊尔鲁潘德希和卡皮尔瓦图地区全球濒危水鸟鹤(Grus antigone antigone)的当前和未来保护制度以及当地种群生态。研究强烈建议将这些地区的部分地区宣布为鹤类保育区，以便日后有更完善的管理制度。该地区共记录到168只沙鹤(Rupandehi 100只，Kapilvastu地区68只)。鹤的总种群密度为9.3只/100 km2。70%的鹤在农田栖息，30%的鹤在湿地栖息。鹤种群目前面临的威胁有栖息地的丧失和退化、高电缆线、鹤栖息地周围的甘蔗种植、水渠筑坝和胶结、水体养分和化学物质泄漏造成的水污染、环境污染等人为原因。关键词:沙鹤，濒危，低地，湿地DOI: 10.3126/jowe.v3i0.2224湿地生态学杂志，(2009)第3卷，pp 1-11
