Previously, Tram Chim National Park recorded more than 1,000 Red-crowned Cranes. However, due to many different reasons, the number of cranes in Tram Chim is decreasing, even one year without any individuals returning.

With significant decline, natural crane population is facing the risk of extinction in the near future. According to experts, the loss of red -headed cranes not only lost the precious birds classified as the world red book of the International Union of Nature Conservation and Natural Resources (IUCN) but also lost the factors to attract tourists, entrepreneurs prioritize investment ... This is a difficult thing in money.
