    Proceedings of the X International Crane Conference : [21–27 August 2023, Tartu, Estonia]
    (Estonian University of Life Sciences, 2023) Estonian University of Life Sciences
    We warmly welcome you to Tartu for the X International Crane Conference, hosted by the Estonian University of Life Sciences and organised in cooperation with the European Crane Working Group and the International Crane Foundation. We would like to thank our sponsors very much for their support of the meeting. Every few years, crane enthusiasts in Europe meet at international crane conferences. The conferences have now taken place in six different countries: Hungary, Germany, France, Spain, Sweden and Estonia, in many of these countries at least twice. It was 34 years ago, in 1989, the last crane conference was held in Estonia, just after the first meeting in Hungary in 1985. A lot has changed since then, both in the world and in our knowledge of the biology and ecology of cranes and the need for international cooperation to organise successful conservation. For many years now, our colleagues from practically all over the world have been attending the International Crane Conferences in Europe to share knowledge and experience. The last time we met in 2018 at the 9th International Crane Conference in Arjuzanx, France, we agreed that we would meet again in 2022 in Estonia. However, this plan has been changed due to the global pandemic, but it has taught us how to run events through various online platforms and, surprise, the work can be done successfully, and conferences can be attended without leaving home. We will have to see how it works in the next few days. Sadly, many of our colleagues are absent today due to war in Ukraine. In 2023, the X International Crane conference will be held from 22–25 August in the main building of the Estonian University of Life Science in Tartu, Estonia. The symposium aims to share knowledge on cranes from across the globe, with information presented on their ecology, management and conservation. We have excellent speakers from Eurasia, Africa and America, with 36 oral presentations and 7 posters covering a variety of crane species. 78 delegates from 19 countries will attend the conference. We hope you will discover Tartu town, the second largest city in Estonia with a population of nearly 100,000 people. It is a historical Hanseatic City and a central university town. Dating back to 1030, it is the oldest City in Estonia. We encourage you to visit the University of Tartu’s main building, the Town Hall Square, Toome Hill, the Estonian National Museum and St John’s Church, famous for its thousands of medieval terracotta figures. We look forward to seeing our old friends and meeting new ones. Welcome! Ivar Ojaste, Estonian University of Life Sciences, on the name of the Organization Committee
