Endangered Species Act: A Keystone of Conservation Success Under Threat, and What You Can Do to Help Save It

Wednesday, May 7, 3 p.m. Central Time

Yes, I'd Like to Learn More

 

The Administration has proposed an administrative 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.

Signed into law in 1973—the same year as the International Crane Foundation was established—the ESA is a keystone of conservation success. It is credited with saving 99 percent of the species it protects, like the Endangered Whooping Crane, which was part of the first cohort of species protected by the law. We believe this change would be catastrophic for endangered Whooping Cranes, countless other species, and their habitats.

Join International Crane Foundation staff in a webinar on Wednesday, May 7, to learn more about the proposed rule change and what you can do to help protect this vital conservation tool. To learn more, read this letter from our President and CEO Dr. Rich Beilfuss.

What will the world of cranes look like in 2035? Will government cuts today affect our impact tomorrow? How will climate change alter the wetlands and waters that cranes (and all of us) need, and what will we do about it?

Join us for the April 29 From the Field Webinar with our President and CEO Dr. Rich Beilfuss to explore our new 10-year vision for the International Crane Foundation. We’ll reflect on lessons learned from our past decade of conservation impact and scan the horizon for the most important opportunities and challenges in the decade ahead. We’ll envision a future where cranes, diverse landscapes, and healthy communities thrive together.
