This program is being sponsored by The Hitchcock Center, and is part of an event that includes two half day-day field outings with Susan Morse on November 22, 2015. The "Animals of the North: What will Global Climate Change Mean for Them" is open and free to the public. Questions can be directed to Micky McKinley at Micky@hitchcockcenter.org.
This program is designed to educate audiences about ways in which northern wildlife species are already being affected by climate change, with more serious challenges ahead. Canada lynx, moose, American marten, caribou, polar bears, arctic fox and arctic marine and waterfowl ecology are some of the species and subjects covered in this stunningly beautiful show. We promise not to overwhelm our audience with bad news. Instead, our program will devote equal time sharing remarkable images of animals and their northern habitats—all in the spirit of Jane Goodall’s “reason for hope.” Our intent is to inspire our attendees, young and old alike, to join us in the vital crusade to change our fossil fuel-burning ways, conserve natural resources and share a healthy planet with all that lives.
