We believe people and cranes—and other wildlife—can coexist peacefully on urban, suburban and rural landscapes. As with many neighbors, coexisting peacefully might require some patience and creativity.
Due to the immediate threat of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), the International Crane Foundation recommends using extreme caution around sick or deceased wildlife, especially birds and cranes.
As the human population grows, the demand for energy, especially from renewable resources such as wind and solar, has drastically increased. This has accelerated the construction of wind turbines, solar farms, and power lines in the United States. When new energy infrastructure is placed in or near crane habitats, it can disrupt their movement patterns and reduce available resources.
