Abstract
Large numbers of villagers have always lived in and around Zhalong National Nature Reserve(ZNNR).The natural environment and resources of the reserve provide habitat for cranes and income for villagers.During the breeding and migration periods,cranes feed in croplands within the reserve and this reduces economic benefits to villagers.We surveyed villagers between March and May of 2014 in ZNNR.Interviews were carried out using questionnaires in 8 villages in the reserve.The main agricultural crops damaged by cranes was corn(maize)(100%).The time of damage was the sowing stage in spring and full-ripening stage in autumn(100%).Damage in spring was greater than in autumn.Cranes preferred seedlings with 2-5 leaves(94%)and avoided seedlings with 7 leaves or more in spring(100%),and crop damage in spring covered large areas.In autumn,cranes preferred to eat full bodied corn kernel.The monetary amount of crane damage was 2400 CNY/year/household.The annual household income was 32 558 CNY/year in ZNNR,from farming,fishing,reed and grass harvesting,livestock breeding and labor service.All villagers had a strong conservation consciousness(100%)and most of them expected some proper compensation(89%).They expected various ways of compensation,including monetary and physical(crop seed,fertilizer),policy compensation(low-interest and interest-free loans from banks)(93%)and technical compensation(planting and protection technology)(7%).And the responsible party they expected also varied,including the nature reserve(51%),the state(27%),the local government(19%).Based on the findings,we recommend crane protection and crop damage management in the reserve.\n
