The Cornell Lab of Ornithology—Bending the curve for birds and biodiversity

It's easy to feel hopeless these days. Our planet is on the edge, nearer than ever to the point of no return. Bird populations are crashing, as ecosystems around the world suffer from climate change, habitat loss, and myriad forms of anthropogenic deterioration. What can we do to stop it? What can you do? What can I do? If you find yourself struggling with these questions, join Brian Sullivan for a glimpse into what one organization is doing to create a ecosystem of tools to engage a global community of birders, generate the best most actionable science from the data, and get these data into the hands of decision-makers around the world--all in a collective effort to 'bend the curve' for birds, biodiversity, and humanity. Learn how you are making a difference in this battle, or, how you could!
