Congress passes the Crane Conservation Act

This is good news for the world's 15 crane species. The congress passes this legislation by a 288-166 margin. Next, it's off to the Senate where it is being pushed by crane supporters Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold. This act will provide funding through a grant program and encourage a relationship between the Dept. of the Interior and groups, such as the International Crane Foundation, that are committed to saving cranes.
