Birding as Communal Conservation
As we navigate a world with increasing individualism, the need for a strong community is increasingly paramount. Birding, inconspicuously framed as a solitary and quiet activity, raises its voice to show itself as a force for bolstering conservation efforts and bringing people together.
Statement
In this documentary we see birding, often touted as a hobby for retirees or more secluded individuals, gently open itself up as a community full of kindness as and a force for expanding conservation efforts. On a global scale the Cornell eBird app utilizes citizen science to collect huge amount of data and make real change in the world through its analysis.
