Not Your Old Paper Map: How Using Geography Can Help the Environment

RYAN YOUNG | WWF PROGRAM OFFICER, WWF SUSTAINABILITY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

They tell us how people live and move about the earth, how plants and animals behave and where they reside, and how the earth and human respond to each other with a global perspective. Join Ryan as he explains how we use maps in conservation to study the environment through interactions with people, animals, and satellites, and what it means to be a geographer in this day and age.
