Fight And Flight: Christian Cooper's Story

A Story of Avian Advocacy and The Audubon Society

Long before the infamous Central Park incident went
viral (where a white woman called the cops on him during a
birdwatching outing), Christian Cooper had been obsessed with
birds. It was a love nurtured through his involvement in The
Audubon Society, an environmental organization dedicated to bird
conservation. But recently, Christian’s dedication to and
love for this organization has been put to the test. We’ll hear how
growing up as a closeted queer person in the 80s, a career
contributing to Marvel comics, and a life spent paying attention to
birds has prepared Christian to navigate controversies and side
with what is right. Follow Christian Cooper on Instagram. Thanks
