The natural habitat of the whooping crane was almost completely destroyed. This was a factor in limiting the increase in the number of birds. Also, by the time conservation efforts started to pay off, there were very few birds left to reproduce. The efforts are helping though. At one time there were only 14 known wild whooping cranes, but now there are hundreds of them. They are not out of the woods, but the numbers are moving in the right direction.
