2:07 {Foraging} birds look in the ground for food as rain makes ground softer and easily accessible

**Overall birds seem unaffected by the rain and relatively calm. ]]> 2016-05-16 19:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/525751/rm1nx3y55jpa/wish/111111584 525751 https://padlet.com/525751/rm1nx3y55jpa/wish/111112460 Average Height: 3ft

• Reducing the impact of global trade on all African crane species.
• Restore large floodplains that sustain Wattled Cranes in Southern Africa, and isolated populations in Ethiopia and South Africa.
• Engage communities in the conservation of Grey Crowned Cranes and their wetland habitats across East and Southern Africa
• Conserve Blue Cranes on agricultural landscapes in South Africa.
• Understand and managing Black Crowned Cranes on their breeding grounds in West and Central Africa

2010 Vulnerable (VU)
2008 Near Threatened (NT)
2006 Near Threatened (NT)
2004 Near Threatened (NT)
2000 Lower Risk/near threatened 
1994 Lower Risk/least concern 
1988 Lower Risk/least concern 
Current Problems include:
♦Continuing decline of mature individuals
♦Continuing decline in subpopulations
Contiuning delcine in area, extent, and or quality of habitat
Droughts in habitat]]> 2016-05-22 22:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/525751/rm1nx3y55jpa/wish/112029110 ellyceeleven https://padlet.com/525751/rm1nx3y55jpa/wish/112029333 The International Crane Foundation Website
