Forests Combat Climate Change

Forest destruction leads to 20 percent of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Forest conservation can be an important part of the fight against climate change.

WSYX-TV talks to The Nature Conservancy's Bill Stanley about how trees store carbon and how energy companies are working with the Conservancy to stop deforestation.

It's For the Birds

Each year about 200 species of neotropical migratory birds make an incredible intercontinental journey from South and Cenral America, Mexico, and the Caribbean islands to North America. Many of them will nest or lay over in Ohio, where migratory bird habitat is on the decline. In order to help ensure their survival, The Nature Conservancy recently hired James Cole.

Find out how he's helping.
