Description

Most likely, a National Park exists within your state or the district of your member of Congress. One essential way to connect how climate change will negatively impacts these national treasures and the birds within them is a new tool from the National Audubon Society.

Join seasonal park ranger and Citizens’ Climate Lobby volunteer Brian Ettling (@begreennow) in an older CCL training (55m 04s) on "Climate Change, impacts and National Parks," as he discusses how he has witnessed climate change while working in the national parks. Bryan shares how he has used his experience and love of our national parks to achieve common ground in meetings with Congressional staff as well as two examples of national parks working to reduce their carbon footprints.

 

Usage Instructions

Social science research reminds us of the importance of tying the impacts of climate change to our local communities. The Birds & National Parks projection tool from the Audubon Society, helps advocates make this essential connection.

Join Dr. Chad Wilsey, Audubon’s Director of Conservation Science in a CCL training (24 m 14s) that reviews the background behind Audubon’s Birds & Climate Change Report as well as the best practices on how to incorporate it into your team’s climate advocacy.
