Saving Birds to Save the Planet

What does bird conservation have to do with saving the planet? More than you might think. Join the DMNS for an evening with Scott Weidensaul.

Around the world, many bird populations face serious threats. But the story isn’t only one of decline. From recovering habitats to rebounding waterfowl, gnatcatchers and forest songbirds, bird conservation is showing what’s possible when science, persistence and community come together. Through stories from the front lines of conservation, Weidensaul reveals how saving birds can also help protect habitats, strengthen ecosystems and offer a more hopeful model for the future of the planet.
