Whooping cranes are an endangered species although the population was never high due to over hunting in the 1800s. In the 1940s Sandro Wagner Trikot , the population decreased even more to less then 20. Due to the Whooping Crane’s low population, bird care organizations do not allow them to go outside a protected area and they are now protected by law. Their habitat is very limited because they need clean wetlands, and there are only a few left.
