Over the past 12 years, the International Crane Foundation has worked in Rwanda to protect the Endangered Grey Crowned Crane, restore critical wetland ecosystems, and empower local communities. This webinar will highlight the Foundation’s integrated approach to conservation—combining crane safeguarding and monitoring, sustainable wetland management, and community-led resilience initiatives. Join us on Thursday, June 19, at 11 a.m. Central Time to explore how this holistic model is not only safeguarding Rwanda’s biodiversity but also improving livelihoods and inspiring a new generation of conservation stewards.
