GREETING CARD:
The Whooping Crane (Grus americana)- is a Federally Endangered- Bird and is part of the Threatened Texas series and is an original artwork by me, Juliet Whitsett. To create this image I sampled colors from images of threatened species and created original art inspired by the unique limited palette.
SPECIES INFORMATION PROVIDED BY: Carter G. Crouch, PhD, Director of Gulf Coast Programs, International Crane Foundation
"In the early 20th century, we nearly lost the Whooping Crane. Unregulated shooting, habitat loss, and other human disturbance led to a precipitous decline in numbers, and in 1944-45, there were only 21 Whooping Cranes left in the world. The Whooping Crane was listed as endangered in 1970. There have been four reintroduction attempts, two of which are still ongoing. While the reintroduction attempts have seen both successes and setbacks, none of these populations are self-sustaining yet. Today there are over 800 Whooping Cranes in the world, split between three re-introduced populations, captive breeding programs, and the last remaining natural population."
