These scientists flew eggs across the ocean to save seabirds from climate change

Most black-footed albatross (Phoebastria nigripes) nest on sandy beaches in Hawaii—but rising sea levels threaten their eggs and chicks. Researchers in Mexico and the United States came up with a way to save these birds: having young albatross hatch and imprint on an island 6000 kilometers away with higher ground. Watch to see the journey of these black-footed albatross.
