Abstract
This paper is a specie account for Black-necked Cranes (Grus nigricollis) in the IUCN global crane conservation action plan. The paper reviewed distribution and status (population, breeding and wintering) of Black-necked Crane, its ecology, population trends (the global population of this species is estimated as 10,000-10,200); analyzed main threats facing this species; and summarized major efforts in conservation and research for this species. Based on the results and practices over the past three decades, we recommended not down-list this species. We proposed priority actions in research, monitoring and conservation, in dealing with major threats for this species.
