Education is key to protecting one of North America’s most endangered birds. We work at multiple levels with audiences in Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, and along the flyways where Whooping Cranes are found. ICF’s education and outreach programs reach schools and other venues in Texas, Nebraska and along the eastern flyway from Wisconsin to Florida, helping people understand the significance of crane and wetland conservation. These experiences encourage people to learn about similar issues for cranes, wetlands, water, and people around the world.
Education programs are presented at ICF’s world headquarters and throughout the year at schools, universities, conservation and birding clubs, conferences, birding festivals, civic organizations, and zoos. During these outreach visits, we distribute education materials including posters, brochures, videos, CDs, and curricula that can be used to interpret cranes, migration, endangered species, behavior, and ecology, among other topics.
Whooping Crane conservation projects have offered ICF a strong opportunity to inform and motivate adults and students along the flyways about crane and wetland conservation. The migration of these birds highlights the dependence of cranes and other wildlife on wetlands along the migration routes. Most of these wetlands are privately owned, so the decisions and conservation outlook of our future generations are critical to the survival of these cranes.
