A Brief History of the Raven
Ravens are smart and quick to adapt, and with more resources from urban expansion in the desert their numbers have soared. This imbalance can have a negative impact on other species, especially to the Mojave desert tortoise. But humans can find a solution to this complex issue by changing our perception of the often-villainized bird and understanding our role in the ecosystem.
