How Birds Can Save the World

How Birds Can Save the World Fitzpatrick, John; Agassiz, Louis; Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology Birds can save the World- so says John Fitzpatrick, the Louis Agassiz Fuertes Director of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. In this lecture to the Cornell Association of Professors Emeriti, Fitzpatrick explains how. As part of the Laboratory’s program called e-Bird, volunteers all over the world are reporting bird sightings. Based on this data, Federal and local agencies are setting aside land from development and making other changes to protect bird species and hence the environment. This was a lecture to the Cornell Association of Professors Emeriti on February 18 2016. It was filmed and edited by Charles Walcott.
