When Cranes Survive,

People Thrive.

How does protecting endangered cranes help people around the world build better livelihoods, care for their communities, and restore their lands?

A healthy environment promotes wellbeing for people and wildlife. When people come together to repair and steward crane habitats, they create opportunities to improve their health, provide for their families, and build a brighter future.

Working with the International Crane Foundation, individuals and families participating in conservation programs are:

  • Building new livelihoods in wetland restoration, sustainable agriculture, and conservation law enforcement
  • Earning money to invest in farm equipment and valuable livestock
  • Investing in education for their children

You can help people make a difference for their environments, their communities, and themselves.

International Crane Foundation

Collaborating with the governments, traditional leaders, and peoples who share land with cranes, the International Crane Foundation works with communities around the world to build conservation programs that protect cranes and empower people.

People like you have helped us train and equip hundreds of Community Scouts in Zambia’s Kafue Flats region—creating livelihoods and improving conservation law enforcement outcomes.

They have helped operate and maintain 21 health clinics in Uganda’s Rukiga District, providing health services for 21,000+ people.

And—through the simple act of building private latrines—they are giving hundreds of girls the chance to stay in school and graduate.
