Environment - Program: Plight of the Plume Birds - Alan Tomlinson and Francesca De Onis
In the mid-19th century the wading birds of the Everglades came close to extinction as plume hunters slaughtered them for the rapacious millinery industry. Today, the birds still struggle to recover in the face of new man-made threats. Watch the video online:
