World Crane Day

Cranes support healthy ecosystems by maintaining wetlands, dispersing seeds, and serving as indicators of environmental health. Many crane species are threatened by wetland loss, water pollution, collisions with power lines, and climate change. You can help by protecting wetlands, reducing water pollution, supporting habitat conservation efforts, and making wildlife-friendly choices that benefit cranes and other wetland species. Visit the Zoo to learn more ways you can participate! 

Fun Fact: Many crane species form lifelong pairs and strengthen their bonds through elaborate calls and dances.
