Nearly all of the world’s last wild Whooping Cranes return to the wetlands of the Boreal Forest to breed each year. Their recovery is an incredible conservation story. After dropping to only about 20 birds in the 1940s, the population has grown to nearly 600 today. Each summer, they nest and raise their young in the northern boreal before migrating all the way to Texas for the winter. Protecting the Boreal Forest means protecting the wetlands that Whooping Cranes, and hundreds of other bird species, depend on. Produced with: National Audubon Society
