2024 conservation wins: bison, tigers & more

We’re kicking off the new year with another edition of Nature Breaking’s “Headlines & Trendlines.” Seth is joined once again by Hayley Lawton as they count down four of their favorite conservation wins from 2024: major progress for bison restoration, a commitment to raise $1 billion to save wild tigers, innovations in “environmental DNA” that could change the way we approach conservation, and the first-ever photograph of a rare bird species. They’ll also close with a discussion of what they’re most excited about heading into 2025.
