The bird's eye view - with Dag O. Hessen

The bird's eye view is a tribute to the world of birds and a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural landscapes for future generations.Here, award-winning author and biologist Dag O. Hessen takes you on a fascinating journey through two centuries of landscape change, seen through the eyes of those who have perhaps had the best overview of these interventions: the migratory birds. By following their routes from 1825, 1925 and 2025, you get a unique and dramatic insight into how the landscape has changed over time and how humans have influenced life on earth. Combining scientific facts with poignant stories about bird species and their incredible traits, this talk gives us a deeper understanding of the beauty and vulnerability of nature.
