Once Abundant— Now Forgotten

This award-winning film follows author Joel Greenberg as he reveals the compelling story of the passenger pigeon extinction, and the striking relevance of the bird's demise to conservation issues today. Using stunning CGI animation, From Billions to None recreates the glory of passenger pigeons in flight as well as the ways in which our 19th century ancestors destroyed them all. The film highlights the important lessons of the past as well as the immediate challenges species face, but offers a message of hope. We can learn from past mistakes.
