The International Crane Foundation is a leader in the conservation of cranes. We don’t work alone, however, and we owe much of our success to the wonderful volunteers who help us accomplish our mission.
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.
