In mid-June we enjoyed another magical night at the International Crane Foundation. An Evening with the Cranes drew friends from across the country to share wine, food, and song from the crane regions of the world, under a beautiful summer sky.
ICF strengthens its research and conservation work in South Asia by naming K. S. Gopi Sundar, Ph.D. as the Program Director for the new SarusScape Program starting in January 2012. The SarusScape Program focuses on the world’s tallest flying bird, the Sarus Crane, which is one of 11 crane species threatened with extinction. The new program will build on the strong cultural values towards cranes that have served to secure vital wetlands for the Sarus Cranes in India over the millennia.
