This Green Earth - October 1, 2019 Jordan Rutter

Then, during the second half of the show, Nell and Katy spoke with Jordan Rutter of the American Bird Conservancy about their study, just published in the journal Science. The data shows that since 1970, the US and Canada have lost nearly 3 billion birds - one in every four birds - including everything from backyard songbirds to long-distance migrants, indicating an ecological crisis.  Jordan fills them in on the primary drivers of this decline, and the very simple actions that can make a real difference.
