New Visitor Center in Okhotsk Perevoz, Yakutia, established for migratory bird research and education activities.

For over 70 years, scientists and conservationists have come to understand the habitat needs of the Aransas-Wood Buffalo Population of Whooping Cranes. However, Whooping Cranes continue to surprise us, and they are increasingly using habitat away from the coast.

With generous support from The Elephant Charge, the International Crane Foundation in Zambia recently conducted a series of community radio awareness campaigns to raise understanding and appreciation of the Kafue Flats ecosystem.

A newly commissioned modern office block at Blue Lagoon National Park Headquarters at Naleza will serve as a vital hub for Wildlife management, research, and community engagement in Zambia’s Kafue Flats.

Our teams from Texas and Wisconsin collaborated to compile all available information on over-summering on the wintering grounds for the two current migratory Whooping Crane populations: the Aransas Wood Buffalo Population and the Eastern Migratory Population.
