SACRAMENTO MOVIE PREMIER: THE UNFORESEEN
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Save Our Sandhill Cranes (SOS Cranes) is a non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining open space habitat and the conservation of the California Central Valley's Sandhill crane populations through education, outreach, and community activism. Of particular concern to SOS Cranes are the threats to the remaining suitable winter habitats in the Central Valley of California. Pending urban development and the shift from corn and rice production to vineyards is likely to dramatically diminish what little remains of the winter migratory habitat of the Lesser and Greater Sandhill Cranes in this region. The Greater Sandhill Crane, which is a state listed endangered species, exhibit a high degree of loyalty to its specific wintering grounds, and any disturbance there will result in them being uprooted. If we lose the present population, it is highly unlikely that Sandhill Cranes from another location and population will come and take their place. The Lesser Sandhill Crane - a similar but smaller version of the Greater Sandhill Crane - is subject to the same threats of habitat loss as the Greater Sandhill.
