Images of a large flock of black-necked cranes were recently captured by a drone camera at a nature reserve in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. Located at an average altitude of around 4,200 meters, the reserve is one of the main wintering areas for these elegant birds. To protect the endangered species, a series of measures have been taken to ensure the steady improvement of the local ecology.
