Nature-based Solutions for Crane and Wetland Conservation in Kenya
savingcranes.org/webinars/ Join Dr. Joseph Mwangi, Kenya Country Manager, for an overview of our landscape approach to crane and wetland conservation in Kenya, integrating climate change, resilient livelihoods, enriched wetland buffer zones, and water security.
Increasing demand for food from growing human populations, coupled with poor farming practices, increased droughts due to climate change, and declining yields on farmland, has led communities in rural Kenya to find new land for farming. This has led to encroachment into wetlands for agriculture, which are critical Grey Crowned Crane habitats.
The loss of healthy wetlands and associated disturbance impacts crane productivity and the sustainability of the communities’ livelihoods. In addition, cranes face direct threats such as poisoning due to human-wildlife conflict that arises from crop damage in the converted wetlands.
To promote sustainable livelihoods and balance healthy wetlands, we are working with the community to adopt innovative, resilient livelihood practices that take advantage of ecosystem services for increased crop production. These practices also ensure a healthy wetland, mitigating the effects of climate change and reducing conflict with cranes.

savingcranes.org/webinars/ Shooting of cranes in the Middle East has resulted in the extirpation or disappearance of Critically Endangered Siberian Cranes that recently wintered in Iran and India. Now, there is growing evidence that uncontrolled shooting in several nations in this region is resulting in the decline of migratory populations of Demoiselle and Eurasian Cranes. Consequently, the In...

    As a passionate conservationist, I am thrilled to see the International Crane Foundation taking proactive steps to address the pressing issue of crane conservation in the Middle East. The decline of migratory populations of Demoiselle and Eurasian Cranes due to uncontrolled shooting is alarming, and the establishment of the Middle East Crane Conservation Group (MECCG) is a crucial initiative. It's heartening to hear about individuals like Wali Modaqiq, who have dedicated their lives to protecting these magnificent birds. Their collaboration with Dr. George Archibald and Dr. Elena Ilyashenko, along with support from colleagues in Pakistan and Turkey, showcases the power of international cooperation in conservation efforts. I eagerly look forward to learning more about the International Crane Foundation's history in the Middle East, as well as their current activities and future aspirations for crane welfare in the region. Together, we can make a difference and ensure a brighter future for these iconic birds.

      Yes, I believe we have raccoons and coyotes in our area. I'm not sure about bobcats and wolves. If we have them in the area, they may be passing through.

      No, groundhogs wouldn't be a predator, although I suppose they could dig under fencing at our headquarters.
