How to talk to birds | Astacianna Hatcher | TEDxBrighton

Stacey Astacianna Hatcher is a dedicated conservation biologist. She travels to remote corners of the globe to investigate the health of ecosystems and measure their unique biodiversity. She does this primarily by monitoring local bird populations by ear. Stacey Astacianna listens to the songs and chirps around her, then notes what species she hears.
