Flight to Survive: Saving Whooping Cranes

  • NFWF-supported projects save the endangered whooping crane from extinction. In the 1940s, whooping cranes were almost extinct. But they're beginning to come back, thanks to the strong work of partners supported by NFWF. NFWF has supported several projects to help the cranes' recovery, from hatching chicks in captivity to teaching them how to migrate, like wild birds do. It's an amazing story. Seeing these huge birds return to the sky, you can't help but be inspired by the work NFWF makes possible.

    A very nice presentation. My interest in whooping cranes began in a Civics class in 1948 when we learned there were only 16 left alive, with the very real possibility that this species would soon become extinct. Hats off to Joe Duff and the other pioneers and participants in working so hard to save them.

    I live in coastal Mississippi and, sans airplane, we do the same thing to protect the Mississippi Sandhill Crane. Their numbers are now up from a low point of 40ish to 140! Beautiful animals that I have been fortunate enough to see in the wild a handful of times. Really hope they, along with the Whooping Crane, make a full recovery, like Pelicans and Eagles did.

    As long as there is still life amongst them, there is still hope. Pray for those trying to help species survive. Nothing was sadder than a trip to Disney World fifty years ago, where a captive beach dwelling bird was the very last of its species yet remaining.
