99% Invisible

This past fall, two hundred people gathered at The Explorerโ€™s Club in New York City. The building was once a clubhouse for famed naturalists and explorers. Now itโ€™s an archive of ephemera and rarities from pioneering expeditions around the globe. But this latest gathering was held to celebrate the first biological census of its kind โ€“an effort to count all of the squirrels in New York Cityโ€™s Central Park. Squirrels were purposefully introduced into our cities in the 1800s, and when their population exploded, we lost track of how many there are.
