When it comes to climate change, human beings tend to focus on how it affects us. But how is global warming impacting the wild world? At the next Secret Science Club, Adam Welz jumps off from his new book, The End of Eden, to examine the unexpected stories of animals across the globe and the ways they are coping—or not—with the “climate breakdown” and “global weirding.”
Combining firsthand reportage and insights from cutting-edge research, Adam Welz takes us from the Mojave Desert in California to the kelp forests of the Australian coastline… and brings us up close to creatures like parrots in Puerto Rico, cheetahs in Namibia, and moose in Maine as they struggle to survive changes to the environments in which they have evolved.Before & After
