Christian Cooper on "Better Living Through Birding" & Birdwatching as a Queer Black Man

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-de... New York City's chapter of the Audubon Society has officially changed its name to the New York City Bird Alliance as part of an effort to distance itself from its former namesake John James Audubon, the so-called founding father of American birding. The 19th century naturalist enslaved at least nine people and espoused racist views. Our guest Christian Cooper is a Black birder and a longtime board member of the newly minted New York City Bird Alliance. In 2020, he made headlines after a white woman in Central Park called 911 and falsely claimed Cooper was threatening her life. Cooper is also the author of "Better Living Through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World" and host of the Emmy Award-winning show "Extraordinary Birder." Cooper shares stories of his life and career, including his longtime LGBTQ activism and how his father's work as a science educator inspired his lifetime passion for birdwatching.
