“One of the most significant constraints to purchasing bird-friendly coffee among those surveyed was a lack of awareness,” said Alicia Williams, former research assistant at the Cornell Lab and Virginia Tech and lead author of “Tapping Birdwatchers to Promote Bird-Friendly Coffee Consumption and Conserve Birds,” which published March 1 in the journal People and Nature. ....
