Traffication: An Interview with Paul Donald

Car noise disrupts bird communication and behavior, and tire and brake dust from pollutes waterways with microplastics. In this wide-ranging interview, we talk to the author of Traffication: How Cars Destroy Nature and What We Can Do About It , Paul Donald about how he coined the term "traffication," the history of road ecology, and what we can do about the problem.
