Imperiled Landscapes Project
THE EARTH IS UNDERGOING MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL DISRUPTION DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
THE GLOBAL AVERAGE TEMPERATURE HAS RISEN ALMOST 1°C OVER THE PAST CENTURY
AND COULD RISE AS MUCH AS 4°C BY 2100, DUE TO HUMAN ACTIVITIES LIKE ENERGY
PRODUCTION. NATURAL LANDSCAPES ARE IMPERILED EVERYWHERE. IN THE ARCTIC, SEA
ICE IS DISAPPEARING, AND INUIT VILLAGES ARE SINKING INTO MUD. ALONG OCEAN
COASTLINES, WETLANDS ARE THREATENED BY SEA LEVEL RISE. URBAN WATERSHEDS ARE
EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT DROUGHT, AND LOCAL WATER SUPPLIES ARE AT RISK. DRAWING
ON 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING PROFESSIONALLY ON CLIMATE CHANGE, I AM
CONDUCTING A LONG-TERM SURVEY DOCUMENTING NATURAL LANDSCAPES THAT WE MAY
LOSE AS THE PLANET HEATS UP.
