Whooping Cranes in the Eastern Migratory Population

Alicia will explore the history of the Eastern Migratory Population of Whooping Cranes, an endangered species reintroduced to the eastern United States. Her presentation will cover the historic and ongoing threats these magnificent birds face, the efforts to reintroduce them into the wild, and the conservation work being done to protect their future. She will also share updates on the 2025 release cohort and highlight why the recovery of Whooping Cranes is a story of creativity, perseverance, and dedication.

Alicia is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, where she studied zoology and anthropology. She began her career with the International Crane Foundation in 2023 as a Crane Conservation Fellow and now serves as an Outreach Biologist. Her work combines community outreach, education, research, and fieldwork, including monitoring and assisting in the protection of the Eastern Migratory Population.

With Wisconsin playing such an important role in Whooping Crane conservation, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the challenges and successes of bringing these remarkable birds back from the brink of extinction.
