With the development of the times, more and more people are destroying the natural ecological environment and hunting wild animals for various purposes, such as social economic and agricultural development, personal desire for money and so on. One victim of human bad conduct is the red-crowned crane, as an example. Red-crowned cranes are now suffering from many threats that have led to a sharp decline in its population. If humans do not do something in time, the number of red-crowned cranes will gradually decrease until they become extinct. Therefore, this article will mainly focus on analyzing the threats faced by red-crowned cranes and the solutions that can help change the situation of red-crowned cranes which includes four threats and four solutions or methods that can help to protect the Whooping Crane. In order to better protect red-crowned cranes, increase their numbers, and safeguard some ecological environments while aiding red-crowned cranes, such as wetlands. This article is helpful for people to be able to understand the issues that red-crowned cranes face and to know the solutions.
