| Popis: | The black crowned crane (Balearica pavonina) and wattled crane (Bugeranus carunculatus) are the vulnerable resident birds of Ethiopia. However, little is known about their current status, local distribution, and responses to anthropogenic effects and environmental change. This study assessed the population status, spatiotemporal distribution, and factors affecting a population of the two crane species at 18 wetland sites in Jimma Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. The result shows, wetlands used by the cranes were classified as slope, riverine, depressional, and lake fringe based on topographic positions, landforms and hydrologic conditions. A total of 304 black crowned cranes and 30 wattled cranes were recorded at the wetland sites over the study period. Statistically, the population status of the two crane species were significantly (P |
