Your Call 040308 The Commons Series; Animal Migrations

What impact has human activity had on migration patterns? On the next Your Call, we continue our series on the commons with David Wilcove, author of "No Way Home: The Decline of the World's Great Animal Migrations." The Redfish Lake in Idaho is named for the thousands of Sockeye Salmon that once retuned to the lake after a 900-mile long journey from the Pacific Ocean. This year, only four sockeye reached the lake. What is destroying migratory routes? What's being done to preserve them? And what's our role? It's Your Call, with me, Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guest:
David S. Wilcove, author of No Way Home: The Decline of the World's Great Animal Migrations, is professor of ecology, evolutionary biology, and public affairs at Princeton University.
