![The Surprising SCIENCE Behind Pipelines & Wildlife
I have studied wildlife and pipelines for years - this is how pipelines change wildlife habitat and movement. Applied ecology can be used to take scientific concepts in environmental science and apply them towards real world questions. In this case - how do pipelines impact wildlife? Here are the facts. There are many more considerations to take into account when looking at pipelines (cultural sites, economic benefits, climate impacts and indigenous consent) but this video focuses only on the wildlife. Scientific sources cited below.
