On December 12, 2024, Tram Chim National Park organized a beautiful opening ceremony for the 10-year Sarus Crane Conservation Program. Hundreds of participants attended the event, including officials from central, provincial, and local governments, international and Vietnamese conservation organizations, private businesses, and representatives of local communities.
After a successful 10-year partnership for Siberian Crane Flyway Conservation, the International Crane Foundation announced the population of Siberian Cranes in the eastern flyway region has increased from less than 3,500 in 2015 to almost 7,000 cranes today. The Foundation held closing ceremonies in China last week to celebrate the Saving Wildlife for Siberian Crane Project, with 110 representatives from government departments, protected areas, scientific research institutions, non-governmental organizations, volunteers, and communities attending the ceremony and workshop.
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.
