The Baraboo headquarters operates captive breeding grounds, public exhibits containing every crane species, a specialized research library, and restored nature trails.

Staff and regional partners coordinate habitat preservation and captive reintroduction across multiple continents.

Cornell ornithologists Ron Sauey and George Archibald founded the organization on a rented horse farm before relocating to the present acreage. Archibald pioneered costume rearing where handlers dress as birds to prevent captive chicks from imprinting on humans. Dedication to artificial insemination produced surviving whooping cranes, while coastal operations near Aransas National Wildlife Refuge protect wild flocks after hurricane damage.
