Crane Conservation Act of 2005

The Crane Conservation Act of 2005 proposes the creation of a dedicated federal fund to support the protection and restoration of crane populations worldwide. Under this bill, the Department of the Interior would provide financial grants to wildlife authorities and conservation organizations for projects aimed at preserving crane habitats and managing species at risk. While the bill focuses on international conservation efforts in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, its practical impact includes supporting the survival of rare species like the Whooping Crane and Sandhill Crane, which are of significant interest to American birdwatchers, researchers, and environmental enthusiasts.
