Guardians of the Sky: Local Herders Protect Endangered Cranes 🐦

High up on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau lies Nyanpo Yuzee, a breathtaking landscape that's home to nearly 100 black-necked cranes. These majestic birds aren't just wildlife here—they're family. ❤️

Back in 2011, the Nyanpo Yuzee Environmental Protection Association founded the Crane Protection Group. They invited local women herders to join forces in protecting these beautiful creatures nesting on their summer pastures. Talk about girl power! 💪

For these herders, safeguarding the cranes is more than just a job—it's a way of life. By embracing conservation with open arms, they're ensuring that the black-necked cranes continue to soar across the plateau skies for generations to come. 🌅
