In 2017, RWCA embarked on an ambitious journey to conduct the first-ever national census of Grey Crowned Cranes in Rwanda. Since then, with your continued support, we have diligently repeated this census every year, tracking the population of Grey Crowned Cranes to measure the impact of our work.
This year, from August 15 to August 18, our teams including RWCA staff, rangers and Community Conservation Champions spread out across Rwanda. From Akagera National Park to Rugezi Marsh, and numerous other wetlands, counting the Grey Crowned Cranes to monitor their thriving population.
As part of our cross-boundary collaboration, we also worked in partnership with organisations in neighbouring countries Uganda, Nature Uganda International Crane Foundation and Tanzania Nature Tanzania to conduct a census at the same time.
After a successful census, we are happy that we sighted a total of 1216 Grey Crowned Cranes in Rwanda. The results show yet another increase, following 1066 cranes sighted the previous year.
However, the 2023 census would not be possible without the support from our donors, including the Disney Conservation Fund, Whitley Fund for Nature, Wildlife Conservation Network and Houston Zoo.
