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.
