World at One

Available for over a year

In 1803 James Audubon tied threads to the legs of songbirds to find out about their migration. In the 21st century new technology has created a revolution in animal tracking and discovered some miraculous journeys previously unknown to scientists. A new book Where the Animals Go by Dr. James Cheshire, a geographer and mapmaker and by Oliver Uberti, an illustrator and wildlife writer has captured some of these discoveries. They told Âé¶¹Éç Radio 4's The World at One that by using camera traps in the Amazon "you allow jaguars to photograph themselves and show you the range of their moves".
