• Presents a comprehensive treatment of the biology and ecology of Whooping Cranes, including biology of both remnant and reintroduced populations of Whooping Cranes
• Describes efforts over the past 45 years on conservation and the challenges of reintroducing an endangered species
• Includes chapters from a variety of disciplinary and scale perspectives, ranging from evolution, to population ecology, behavior, habitat use, large landscape conservation, conflict, and conservation efforts
• Features contributions that are readable, yet technically complete and fully referenced
• Provides an example of partnership and collegial action that integrates information produced by scientific research and operational wildlife management
• Edited and written by the leading Whooping Crane scholars and practitioners focused on this high-profile species of conservation concern
