In part two of our hunting series, Dr. Deja Perkins speaks with biologist Alex Troutman about all things hunting – from the perspective of a Black hunter! But first, the two dive into Alex’s work as an outdoors educator and author. Then, Alex shares his personal history with hunting, as well as its historical purpose and presence for Black, brown and Indigenous persons in the U.S. A strong proponent for people of color hunting, he introduces us to an organization called Hunters of Color and shares why similar spaces are important to encourage more people to get back into their roots, while also acknowledging why these reservations exist. Hunting for conservation is for everyone– including you! So tune in, now!

In this episode, Dr. Deja Perkins speaks with aeroecologist Dr. Adriaan Dokter about the study of bird migration with weather radar. Using the vast supply of radars, primarily in the United States, Adriaan and his colleagues at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology research the failure and successes of journeying birds from all over the world. Adriaan also talks about the power of BirdCast, a weather radar website that tracks the progress of traveling birds in the air each migration season. Learn what they’ve uncovered and how they’re using it to benefit conservation when you press play!
