For Glenn Pollock, tracking birds isn’t just a hobby—it’s a way to protect the nature he loves. With help from federal funding, Glenn builds Motus tracking stations—small towers near his home in Nebraska that detect signals from radio-tagged birds flying overhead. These signals reveal where birds travel, the habitats they rely on and the migratory pathways they follow. The data is shared openly with scientists and conservationists around the world, helping protect nature at local, national and global scales.
You might not know it, but policy makes conservation and climate action possible. Visit nature.org/actfornature to tell Congress to protect funding that creates a world where people and nature thrive. preserve.nature.org/page/167450/action/1
