Wattled Cranes (Bugeranus carunculatus) are the most highly endangered and rarest cranes on the African continent. Historically, Wattled Cranes were far more abundant and widely distributed throughout South Africa. Sadly, a 38% decline over just two decades has left the population Critically Endangered and facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
