How Helping Seabirds Helps Us All
The millions of seabirds that call Hawaii home mostly live in the far-flung Northeastern Hawaiian Islands, away from humans and predators. But they are facing an uncertain future, as the low-lying islands on which they nest are being consumed by sea level rise, their nests are being washed away in weather events and they're suffering as the temperatures get hotter. But over the past few decades, environmental groups have been helping bring them back to Hawaii's main islands and the benefits could be shared by all.

Amazing
I really enjoy learning from Claire every week how I can make a difference and what is hurting the environment.
it's that good
Doomed this pod cast is not! So interesting and so much information in such a short time. The sound was amazing and Claire's style is terrific. Even if hawaii is not home, the information is relatable to main landers. Amyone interested in the environment should make this a "go to" pod cast
Very interesting!
I just listened to the first episode and it was great! It was clear, to the point, and interesting. I especially liked that they touched on the societal changes that need to happen involving climate change, instead of just focusing on individual changes, as that is something that I think is not talked about often enough. Overall a very interesting listen!
