| Summary: | An analysis of information from literary sources for the last 132 years together with the data of the author's records and interviews show presence of three crane species on the territory of Dagestan: the Siberian crane, the common crane and the demoiselle crane. Periods and routes of passage, stays and approximate number of migrating and nesting cranes have been studied. To maintain the crane population on the territory of the republic it is necessary to conserve natural landscapes in the demoiselle crane habitats and in places of temporary stay of the common and Siberian cranes; to establish resting places and enrich forage reserve in areas of the common crane concentration on flyways; to create a net of artificial pools (on the basis of artesian boreholes) in semi-desert steppe landscapes of northern Dagestan in order to conserve and control demoiselle crane population; to promote explanatory and educational work among the local population for the purpose of crane conservation on the territory of the republic. |
