It can be redundant to conduct such an analyses within an area where locations of the focal species are taken. What is the utility of this understanding on extrapolating to areas with similar cropping and wetlands of a similar nature? If high, then this study will be really useful. Also, it is not clear how much human attitudes will interact with pure habitat variables in allowing species such as Sarus to be released successfully into new areas. Some thought on these aspects in the discussion will be useful to include.
