Michael Forsberg’s book, "Into Whooperland," explores the lives and fragile habitats of the whooping crane—a majestic yet threatened five-foot-tall bird symbolizing America’s wildlife commitment. Through stunning images and stories, Forsberg follows their 2,500-mile flyway, showcasing the dwindling refuges vital for survival. Once near extinction, whoopers now number in the hundreds, thanks to decades of conservation efforts, which this book powerfully chronicles.
