Keep reading to see the many surprising ways in which the places that birds like the Lesser Yellowlegs need during winter, migration, and summer are also tied to things that people need, like clean water or places to fish. Places that hold or manage water also play vital roles in controlling flooding and storing carbon pollution, two things that will be increasingly important as climate change affects the planet and everything living on it.
