In the course of just 50 years, their numbers went from billions to
zero. 2014 brings the hundredth anniversary of the extinction of the
passenger pigeon. What actions led to the rapid destruction of one of
the most prolific species on earth and what were the weaknesses of the
passenger pigeon that made it vulnerable despite its numerical
superiority? With modern genetic technology, what are the prospects for
recreating the passenger pigeon and what would be the consequences?
Guest forest and wildlife ecologist Stanley Temple provides some Lessons
from the Passenger Pigeon
