Bringing
Back the Cranes
The planes and cranes are part of an experiment that began in 2001. Scientists
wanted to bring the whoopers back to a part of North America where they vanished
over a century ago. The plan will help save this endangered species by starting
a whole new flock of migrating, wild Whooping cranes, back in their former range.
The plan is working! The new flock is called the Eastern flock. How many whoopers are in the new flock today?
