There are 15 species of cranes, and all of them could be extinct by the end of this century, according to Dutch scientist Dr Joost Van der Ven.
Dr Joost Van der Ven says that lack of breeding and wintering are the main concerns for cranes.
There are 25 000 cranes worldwide, 10 000 of which winter in India. The largest population of cranes live in Australia.
The Siberian crane, which wintered in India and Iran, has gone extinct due to being hunted while on their migration route.
