The surge in new energy infrastructure creates a pressing dilemma: balancing clean energy goals with the survival needs of Endangered Whooping Cranes. The stakes are high, and urgent action is needed to protect these beloved birds in the face of a changing energy landscape.
Your help is crucial in protecting cranes from the potential negative impacts of new energy infrastructure within their established range. You can play a vital role in crane conservation by staying informed and reporting energy projects in core crane use areas. We ask those who live near the highlighted core crane use areas on the above maps to please report any new or proposed energy infrastructure (solar panels, wind turbines, and powerlines) to the International Crane Foundation.
