It's an #Infographic! Have you thought of the skies being like an ocean? The study of airspaces is called "aeroecology". Bats, birds, &insects use windcurrents for large scale migration pathways. There is a lot going on up there! We don't think of conservation of "airspace" (but maybe we should).🦇🧪🌎
