Tuesday, April 29, 3 p.m. Central Time

Save My Spot

 

What will the world of cranes look like in 2035? Will government cuts today affect our impact tomorrow? How will climate change alter the wetlands and waters that cranes (and all of us) need, and what will we do about it?

Join us to explore our new 10-year vision for the International Crane Foundation and why it matters. We’ll reflect on lessons learned from our past decade of conservation impact and scan the horizon to look for the most important opportunities and challenges in the decade ahead. We’ll envision a future where cranes, diverse landscapes, and healthy communities thrive together and how we’ll work to get there. Please join us for stories, reflections, and inspiration with International Crane Foundation President and CEO Dr. Rich Beilfuss.

Whooping Cranes are the rarest crane species in the world. In the early 1940s, the entire population was estimated at only 21 birds. Today Whooping Cranes in the Aransas-Wood Buffalo population, which migrate between Canada and the Texas coast, have rebounded to an estimated 550 individuals. Soar with us as our Gulf Coast Program staff Paityn Macko and Matti Bradshaw describe this charismatic species’ ongoing conservation story, fascinating life history, and exciting new research.
