InterpNEWS is looking for articles on how you intepret
climate change/global warming issues to your visitors. This is an
important topic. In the US over 30% of the population doesn't believe
that global warming is "real", and the coal/energy companies do all they can to
debunk any climate change research.
Interpreting these issues to visitors to parks, natural areas,
and other heritage sites on just how climate change will or "is" affecting
habitats and ecosystems is an important role for interpreters. Likewise
the affect of climate change on culture/agriculture and other impacts to people
need to interpreted, like the affects of rising sea levels on coastal
communities.
With InterpNEWS reaching over 150,000 individuals, agencies and
organizations in 25 countries, this is one way of sharing what you are doing to
interpret these issues via exhibits, programs, or other media so that others may
learn from you and try interpretation approaches that are successful
themselves.
If you have a program, activity, exhibit or other interpretive
media you use to interpret climate change/global warming issues to your
visitors, I would welcome an article on this for upcoming issues of InterpNEWS.

guidelines.
