YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe story of the American alligator is one of survival. From 1967 to 1987, they were officially listed as an endangered species. But the wetlands of Louisiana, Florida’s Everglades National Park and many other southern habitats are now teeming with roughly five million alligators. And their story continues to evolve. Recent studies suggest alligators shape how carbon is stored in soil. Could alligators be an unexpected ally in the fight against climate change? Christopher Murray, Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Southeastern Louisiana University, joins The Excerpt to share insights from his recent study published in Nature.
