Twelve different species of cranes are maintained at Wisbroek at the present time. The below mentioned list sumrizes those species which are kept and bred in the crane facilities at WBC, Stramproy, Holland. All these cranes are youngsters bred in captivity from captive-bred parents. All cranes and their youngsters at Wisbroek, Stramproy, Holland will play a major role in the conservation of these species in the world in future days.
