Wendy Palmer has been selected as the Alberta artist to participate in the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation "The Other Canvas" fundraising event www.theothercanvas.ca/event.html. Wendy wanted to paint an exclusive part of Alberta so she decided to paint the Endangered Whooping Crane http://cmhfoundation.wordpress.com/ , whose natural summer breeding ground lies in northern Alberta, plus currently a very significant conservation effort is being conducted through the Calgary Zoo to ensure the long term survival of this species. Whooping Cranes are one of three Canadian bird species listed as globally endangered by the World Conservation Union. The Calgary Zoo's Centre for Conservation Research works closely with husbandry and veterinary experts at the zoo's Devonian Wildlife Conservation Centre to find ways to increase the bredding success of whooping cranes, which plays a major role in increasing the world's population of this amazing bird. www.calgaryzoo.org
