About:
Can we imagine a world where the Whooping Crane is only threatened, not endangered? Since the first cohort of Whooping Cranes was introduced to the Wisconsin landscape in 2001, over 300 birds have been released by various rearing and release methods. Fast forward to 2026: just how are we doing toward the goal of downlisting?

There have been issues with nesting and chick production, complicated by moves to new release areas and amended release methods. Join Anne Lacy, the Director of Eastern Flyway Programs- North America, for a look at the trials and tribulations of bringing a charismatic species back from the brink in this one-hour presentation.
