About this non-profit:

The International Crane Foundation built its reputation as a world-renowned center for scientific research and breeding of captive cranes. But that's all about to change. The International Crane Foundation has been presented with a challenge it is not prepared to face. They must convince Chinese farmers to give up the land they need to feed their families. The same land is needed as breeding ground for threatened wild cranes. Like many environmental organizations, the foundation must determine what is more important: people or wildlife? Is there a point at which human needs outweigh the needs of wildlife? Join The Visionaries in rural China and experience the surprising answer.
