Our New World
Our planet is in a state of flux. Entire ecosystems are transforming under the pressure of a rapidly changing climate.
From mountain peaks to coral seas, habitats are shifting. Species – both animal and plant – must adapt or vanish. Human-made emissions have disrupted nature’s balance. However, there are people on the front lines, doing what they can to face this transformation head-on. Climate change affects more than just wildlife. It alters the natural rhythms of Earth itself. Droughts and heatwaves are drying out once fertile land, while alpine regions are seeing the opposite: snow and ice retreat, and green takes over. In the oceans, temperate waters are becoming warm enough to host tropical life. The very identity of places is being rewritten.
