Welcome to another episode of Bird Sh*t! It's currently nesting and fledgling season for adorable shorebirds. As such, we're excited to talk to Chris Allieri, founder of the NYC Plover Project.
Chris joins us to talk about:
- what it's like on the frontlines of the annual summer showdown: shorebirds vs. the world
- the wacky and wonderful world of starting a wildlife conversation non-profit
- LOTS OF CUTE LITTLE PIPING PLOVERS
- conversation optimism in a continuously depressing world (or is it just us that feel this way? loooool)
Tune in to hear about the amazing work that Chris and his team of 250+ volunteers do every year to help give piping plovers—an endangered species—a fighting chance on the popular summer beaches of NYC.
And, as always, keep your eyes to the skies (or the beach)!
