Mission

Colorado Crane Conservation Coalition ("CCCC") conserves and protects the Rocky Mountain Population of Greater Sandhill Cranes and their habitat using science and education to connect people with this iconic species. CCCC is the collaborative leader in fostering long-term sustainability of the Rocky Mountain Population of Greater Sandhill Cranes.

Background Statement

CCCC was formed in May 2012 to raise awareness about Greater Sandhill Cranes in the Yampa Valley through education and to help protect crane habitat. Cranes in the Yampa Valley are part of the Rocky Mountain Population of Greater Sandhill Cranes. These migratory birds were designated as “endangered” by the State of Colorado in the 1970s and are still listed by the state as a "Tier 1 Species of Concern," which means that conservation efforts are ongoing due to threats such as habitat loss. CCCC is a small nonprofit organization with one full-time and two part-time staff. Each year, over 80 volunteers dedicate their time and energy to facilitate the Yampa Valley Crane Festival, deliver educational programs, the live-streaming nest camera program, and many other activities. CCCC relies on the generosity of volunteers, sponsors, and private individuals to fulfill its mission.
