Message from the researcher
Access to the wintering cranes in and around the DMZ is limited. By classifying the trail cams images, you can have intimate digital encounter with these beautiful birds, and also help us study how the cranes use rice fields in winter.
DMZ Crane WatchAbout DMZ Crane Watch
DMZ Crane Watch is a new and ongoing project. The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a buffer area between North and South Korea to deter military conflicts. Left as a no man's land for over 70 years, the DMZ now hosts over 90 endangered species, including migratory cranes. With your clicks, we can learn more about how cranes make use of the rice fields next to the DMZ. We collect a range of information – species, numbers, behaviors, time/date, and temperature – to better understand the spatial and temporal distribution of the cranes, and their interactions with one another, in and around the DMZ. This data will allow us to identify the changes in the quality and quantity of the crane habitats, critical to our conservation efforts.
