Presentation by Kenneth Rosenberg
A landmark study, recently published in the journal Science, documents the staggering loss of 1 in 4 North American birds since 1970. An applied conservation scientist at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, lead author Kenneth Rosenberg will discuss the analysis that led to this sobering conclusion, what the loss of common birds signals about the health of our environment and what we can do to reverse these trends and restore bird populations.
