Climate Change Presentation

The Animals at Risk from Climate Change Presentation features 25 animals that highlight the fundamental impacts of greenhouse gases—causes, effects and risk of extinction—on all forms of life on the planet. Through illustrations, symbols and brief explanatory text, the complex interaction of biological traits and environmental conditions that cause a species to be susceptible to climate change are made simple and understandable. Comprehensive and thoroughly documented, this presentation is a valuable and relevant educational aid.

"The presentation is extremely valuable for my work and teaching....You present some of the findings better than I have in the original study."
~Wendy Foden, Chair, IUCN Climate Change Specialist Group: Species Susceptibility to Climate Change Impacts 

The 75 page downloadable presentation includes all illustrations, keys, text and charts from "Animals at Risk from Climate Change"—a unique and timely companion to the wall poster. The flexible hi-resolution PDF platform functions both as a carefully sequenced slide show and a set of printable handouts.

The digital Presentation is a useful tool for classroom or public demonstrations; the synergy that comes from many people coming together and reaching a collective awareness has power and can be the start of awareness and change.

Please note: the purchase of the presentation is intended for a single user. We are a small non-profit organization, so if you would like to share or distribute additional copies, we ask that you purchase them, make a donation, or contact us and let us know. Many thanks.

What climate experts have said about the project

"Wonderful project. ...the earlier we convey this information to students the better it is for the planet." Alexander MoreHistorian and Climate Scientist, Harvard

"Very nice graphics and important messages." Dr. Paul Andrew MayewskiDirector, Climate Change InstituteUniv. of Maine

"Brilliant! As a start, every high school science classroom should have a copy of this poster." Dr. Tara Martin IUCN Species Survival Commission's Climate Change Specialist Group

"An easy, responsible, engaging resource for explanation of a very complicated process and very critical condition." Peter NeillWorld Ocean Observatory

"…brings essential conversation on climate change to the forefront through the use of this animal data to make the problem real." Jaclyn StallardProject Learning Tree

"This poster is incredible!" Education TeamPolar Bears International

"I am astounded at how awesome the poster is! ... This is a very meaningful contribution." Wendy FodenChair: IUCN Species Survival Commission's Climate Change Specialist Group

"…a useful resource for teaching about climate change in biology, environmental science, and earth science classes…" Becky RemisNational Earth Science Teachers Association

"The presentation is extremely valuable for my work and teaching....You present some of the findings better than I have in the original study." Wendy FodenChair, IUCN Climate Change Specialist Group: Species Susceptibility to Climate Change Impacts

"I use this poster as a key piece of information in the first deep-dive unit I’ve ever done on climate change. I gravitated toward this resource because...my students are thoroughly engaged and intrigued by animals. ...The key is big and right in the middle of the poster, and there are great descriptions for each piece of the key. A great visually appealing tool!" Diana AllenPresident, Maine Science Teachers Association
