The Whooping Crane needs our help
The Whooping Crane is in trouble. One of the planets' rarest birds, the Whooping Crane is a testament to the impact of conservation efforts - only a handful of birds remained in the wild in the mid-1900's, but numbers have steadily improved to over 500 today. This is due to captive breeding efforts, maintenance of the wetland areas in which they live, and efforts to teach young cranes how to migrate via aircraft guidance.
Whooping Crane Facts
-
Endangered Scale Level
Best available evidence indicates that the whooping crane is considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild, though numbers in the wild are increasing.
-
Migratory
Whooping cranes can migrate over 2,500 miles a year between their breeding grounds in Canada and wintering grounds along the Gulf Coast of the US. They follow the same routes every year, using landmarks and environmental cues to navigate!
-
Increasing Numbers
Whooping crane populations had dwindled to no more than 15 individuals in the wild, making them at the time the most endangered bird species in the world. Today, their numbers continue to grow as the wild and captive populations improve.
-
Dancing Rituals
Whooping cranes have a unique courtship ritual, an elaborate dance put on by the male cranes to attract a mate. The dance involves intricate movements and male cranes call out with a distinctive whooping sound, which gives them their name.
-
Captivity
Conservation activities of breeding cranes in captivity and releasing them (even teaching them how to migrate) have caused a dramatic improvement to the future of the whooping crane, but we must continue to fight for them and their habitats.
