Tanya Jackson+FollowTexas sanctuary gives rare cranes new hopeFive-foot-tall whooping cranes—once nearly wiped out—now have a new $8.4 million sanctuary on the Texas Gulf Coast. This massive win for wildlife means these striking, loud birds have a safer winter home after their numbers dropped to just 21 in the wild decades ago. The sanctuary’s opening is a reminder of how much effort it takes to protect our most vulnerable species, especially as rising sea levels threaten their habitats. It’s a real community effort, and there’s still a long road ahead. What do you think: Are we doing enough to protect America’s natural wonders? #Pets #TexasWildlife #WhoopingCranes21Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowTexas sanctuary gives whooping cranes hopeThe Texas coast just got a major win for wildlife: over 3,300 acres of crucial habitat have been secured to protect the world’s last wild flock of whooping cranes. These towering, snowy-white birds were nearly wiped out in the 1940s, but thanks to decades of conservation, their numbers are slowly rebounding. The new sanctuary isn’t just for the cranes—it’ll help restore prairies, protect marshes, and support other rare species too. Locals and visitors alike will soon have more chances to spot these incredible birds and join in on conservation efforts. What do you think—can we keep this momentum going? #Science #TexasCoast #WhoopingCranes00Share
