| Aanvullende informatie |
The whooping crane had fewer than 22 individuals remaining in the wild by 1941, making it the most critically endangered large bird in North America at the time. A joint U.S.-Canadian captive breeding program launched in the 1970s slowly reversed the collapse. Cook Islands issued several wildlife-themed silver pieces around 1990 targeting the conservation collector market, a commercially driven niche that flourished in that decade with mixed numismatic staying power.
