There is hardly a place on earth that hasn't been impacted by human activity. Even in the Pacific Northwest, where conservation and 'green living' weave through the political and social conversation, our wild spaces and the creatures that live here—elk, cougar, black bear, mountain goat, wolverine, and salmon—face pollution and habitat loss from farming, ranching, and logging. Halfway around the world, in Bermuda, climate change threatens the nesting habitat of endangered seabirds with rising seas and larger and more brutal hurricanes. Jenn Dean's work explores the unfolding drama of wildlife's efforts to adapt to rapid ecological change.
