My Life with Cranes

Join the Explorers Club, on Monday, June 23rd, for a moving story of 40+ years of crane conservation from the founder of the International Crane Foundation.

In 1973, when cranes were in a perilous situation and many were on the brink of extinction, Dr. George Archibald, along with fellow graduate student Ron Sauey, established the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, Wisconsin as the global headquarters for the study and preservation of cranes. His dream was to save the world’s cranes, and that notion has been his driving force ever since. Dr. Archibald’s visionary leadership in international conservation over the last fifty years has given flight to extraordinary grassroots recovery efforts across the globe. He has traveled the world to save cranes and the places where they live, and he can’t wait to share his story with you.
