Green Features of
Spirit of Africa

In June 2009 ICF opened Spirit of Africa, four naturalistic exhibits featuring the crane species of Africa. In harmony with ICF’s commitment to conservation, many sustainable features were incorporated into these exhibits, showcasing green technology, as well as providing a healthier, more sustainable environment for the African cranes. This video was made possible by a grant from the Antonia Foundation.

George & Tex

ICF's Co-founder Dr. George Archibald recounts his experiences with the female Whooping Crane Tex in the companion video to ICF's exhibit George & Tex. The exhibit highlights the dedication of a man to save a species - and the unforgettable story of a crane who thought she was a human.
