In celebration of World Wildlife Day today, the International Crane Foundation is advocating for the protection of cranes and their habitats in Africa, including supporting conservation efforts and promoting sustainable land use. The theme for 2025 is “Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and the Planet.”
Over 100 researchers and conservationists met late last year at Huize National Nature Reserve in Yunnan Province, China, for the ninth annual Black-necked Crane Conservation Network meeting.

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.
