Last week, the Trump Administration proposed a rule change that would profoundly weaken the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the most important law for protecting and conserving threatened plants and animals in our country. We believe this change would be catastrophic for Endangered Whooping Cranes, as well as countless other species, and their habitats.
We asked our staff for their top ten facts about crane migration to create this list – we hope you are inspired to learn more about the mystery of bird migration!
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.
During April, the Whooping Cranes in the Eastern Migratory Population have started nesting and the first two chicks have hatched!
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.
Join the International Crane Foundation’s staff for our May 7 From the Field Webinar at 3 p.m. to learn more about the proposed ESA rule change and what you can do to help protect this vital conservation tool.
