Ontario Nature is aware that Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is proposing to open a hunting season on Sandhill cranes, which is embedded in this document.
Ontario Nature, many of its Nature Network groups and individual members are concerned about this proposal. The recovery of Sandhill cranes is a conservation success story to be celebrated. Given that they were extirpated from Ontario in the last century because of overhunting, reinstating a sandhill crane hunt is an understandably controversial and concerning proposal.
