Becoming a Crane "Parent"
Cranes are a charismatic family of birds. People living near them usually have a profound reverence for these magnificent birds. In Japan, cranes are honored as sacred symbols of long life and a happy marriage. In North America, Africa, and Australia, native inhabitants have incorporated the cranes’ graceful movements into their own dances. Yet despite their grace and beauty, cranes comprise one of the most endangered families of birds in the world. Eleven of the 15 species of cranes are vulnerable to extinction.
