Grades 7-12: Impact of Climate Change on Global Indigenous Communities


Description:Join us as we go, LIVE, around the world to hear the stories of how Indigenous communities in the southern tip of Brazil and the rainforests of Central America are struggling to deal with deforestation, how hunters in the Arctic are dealing with the melting polar ice cap, and how the coastal communities of Australia and New Zealand are struggling with dying coral reefs and dwindling fish stock.

Students will network globally, posting their thoughts and research online through an interactive webpage while being mentored by elders, graduate students and researchers from around the world starting May 18th, culminating in a LIVE video conference/webcast on May 25th, 10:00-23:00 (GMT-6, MDT).
