South Africa has three crane species - the Blue, Grey Crowned and Wattled Crane. All are threatened, especially the Wattled Crane, which is listed as Critically Endangered in South Africa. These elegant birds grace the country’s grasslands and wetlands but their numbers in many places have declined dramatically. Discover these three spectacular cranes and find out about the various threats they face. We also track the excellent work done by entities such as the Endangered Wildlife Trust, KZN Crane Foundation, Johannesburg Zoo and others in ensuring a future for these three iconic species.
