OUR GOAL IS TO MAINTAIN THE HEALTH OF THE BREEDING ADULTS AND REINTRODUCED CHICKS NEEDED FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE THROUGH STATE-OF-THE ART PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAMS. ICFADVANCES CRANE REINTRODUCTION SCIENCE THROUGH STUDIES OF NESTING SUCCESS, HABITAT USE, AND CHICK REARING METHODS. RESEARCH FOCUSES ON THREE AREAS: UNDERSTANDING THE PATTERNS FOR SUCCESSFUL REPRODUCTION IN THE REINTRODUCED POPULATION AS THEY USE DIFFERENT AREAS OF WISCONSIN, STUDYING HABITATS USED BY THE CRANES IN BREEDING ANDWINTERING AREAS, AND INVESTIGATING HOW REARING METHODS IMPACT THE DEVELOPMENT OF WILD BEHAVIORS.
