South Africa’s Blue Crane stands over a metre tall, with blue-grey feathers and trailing tail plumes. It roams grasslands and farms, dancing in pairs during courtship. Despite protection, habitat loss and wire collisions threaten it. Wildlife-friendly farming is vital for its future.

Habitat: The Blue Crane can be found in Namibia, South-africa, Eswatini, Lesotho, Botswana, Zimbabwe
