whooping crane reintroduction project on the Canadian Prairies: identifying relevant issues using expert consultation
Article Abstract:
In 1991, a survey was made of 25 experts in order to get advice on identifying problems and possible solutions in the use of the Canadian prairies as a breeding ground for a second migratory flock of the endangered whooping cranes. The experts recommended two steps for future crane management and further research which would also be useful for managing other endangered species. One recommendation was that the new breeding group must be segregated from the old to prevent the spread of disease.
