Audubon's Expedia for Birds

Dr. Deja Perkins talks with Audubon’s Aurelio Ramos and Catalina Casas about Audubon Americas’ long-running effort to build bird-based tourism across Latin America and the Caribbean. With Colombia as the primary backdrop - and home to the most bird species in the world - they explore how promoting small, local bird-based businesses has created new economic opportunities for locals. While also giving governments and conservationists stronger incentives to protect critical habitats, the goal is to continue to build a system that supports birds on their migrational journeys worldwide. Listen and learn how following the birds can lead to stronger communities, healthier ecosystems, and lasting conservation.Want more Bring Birds Back?
