Conserving all 15 species of cranes requires a broad commitment to the people and places essential to cranes. Since the International Crane Foundation’s inception in 1973, we have dramatically grown in reach and impact while steadily developing our capacity to address the health of the landscapes that sustain not only cranes but also people and a wealth of biological diversity. Cranes truly are ambassadors for conservation, representing some of the most important places on Earth.

Our work spans four key regions: Asia, Africa, North America, and our Global Headquarters in Wisconsin. This global presence enables us to implement effective conservation strategies tailored to each region’s unique challenges and opportunities.
