For 30 years the International Crane Foundation (ICF) has worked with colleagues in China to conserve cranes and the wetland and grassland communities on which they depend, while enabling local human populations who share these resources to thrive. By addressing the needs of human and wildlife populations through capacity building, environmental education, research and rural development, we believe that the cranes, a symbol of long life and happiness in Chinese culture, will continue as a prominent feature of the landscape.

This blog also follows activities of ICF’s international education project, Three White Cranes, Two Flyways, One World. The Three White Cranes project links classrooms along the flyways of three endangered cranes – the Siberian, Red-crowned and Whooping Cranes – through student camps, teacher exchanges and art. Visit our Three White Cranes website to learn more about this exciting project.
