Darron Interviewed on New Orleans TV
TEDxOilSpill Expedition team member Darron Collins, a managing director at the World Wildlife Fund, was interviewed today in New Orleans by WWL TV. The interview is focused on the survival chances of oil spill-treated birds, a sensitive topic.
Of particular concern to Darron are the brown pelicans that were just recently removed from the endangered species list. Even though they aren’t on the list anymore, their low numbers suggests that expending the effort to clean and save them is worth it, even if there’s a chance that they won’t survive the treatment.
Darron gave this interview during a meeting that the rest of the expedition team members were having with the Gulf Restoration Network where we learned about the efforts that this group is making. In this meeting, we talked with Casey DeMoss Roberts, Assistant Director of Water Resources, who will be traveling from New Orleans to speak at TEDxOilSpill.
