AIP graduate student and bird banding station volunteer Molly Toth of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was published in Wild Hope magazine. In "Resilience on the Wing" (beginning on page 34) Molly shares how birds are coping with the stresses of a warming planet. “I’m often overcome by the feeling that I’ve been entrusted, briefly, with the care of something truly precious, something vanishing and fleeting,” she writes. "Recently, Pittsburgh became a Lights Out city, committed to darkening its skies during migration to keep birds safe. These are small steps, but they are rooted in hope, and we will need hope to save these birds and the world we share with them." Toth's experiential learning takes place at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

Toth is earning a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Biology from Miami through Project Dragonfly‘s AIP while working as a communications specialist at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh.
