— John Fitzpatrick, Director, Cornell Lab of Ornithology

Birds occupy every continent and island of any size. They are charismatic and accessible. What John Fitzpatrick means in the above quote is that birds are a great entry point for appreciation of nature, which is the first step to conservation. They also are indicators of a healthy environment, and so much more.
