Timeline PhotosACTION ALERT: Urge Natural Resources Commission to Protect the Sandhill CraneEarlier in 2021, Senator McBroom presented Senate Resolution 20 to encourage the Natural Resources Commission to add Greater Sandhill Cranes to the game species list in Michigan. At their March 3 meeting, the Senate Committee halted approving this resolution due to discrepancies and inconsistencies in both the data cited and rationale purported by the proposal. At a later date, the Committee approved a similar resolution, which is now awaiting review by Michigan’s Natural Resources Commission (NRC). If the Commission approves the logic and rationale of the proposal at this juncture, the Sandhill Crane species would risk losing necessary federal protections afforded to migratory birds. The Natural Resources Commission is preparing to hear a presentation on the Sandhill Crane from a Michigan DNR staff member, Barb Avers, on Thursday, October 14.Michigan Audubon’s leadership and collective supporters have steadily opposed repeated proposals to remove federal protections from the Sandhill Crane species in our state. We believe the majority of Michigan residents would like to continue to see the Sandhill Crane protected as a traditional non-game (migratory) bird species in Michigan. We urge you to share your opinion about protecting Sandhill Cranes to ensure more voices and conservation values are heard by Commissioners and our governor. Take action by writing to the Natural Resources Commission via email at NRC@michigan.gov and by writing to Governor Gretchen Whitmer.Please read our full blog post, "Michigan Audubon Urges Commission to Maintain Sandhill Crane Status as Federally-Protected, Non-Game Species," for more information on this issue. www.michiganaudubon.org/michigan-audubon-urges-commission-to-maintain-sandhill-crane-status-as-fe...📷 Sandhill Crane.
