Alison Pearce Stevens will sign “Animal Climate Heroes”
April 20 @ 10:00 am
FreeIn our left corner we have the meanest villain that’s ever existed. Responsible for rising seas and loss of biodiversity, it’s climate change ready to wreak havoc on the Earth. But in our right corner? We have four superheroes ready to save the day!
Forest elephants protect our forests by trampling trees; Whales boost ocean health with their massive poo-nados; Sea otters defend kelp forests from purple invaders; And echidnas bury tons of soil to stop climate change.
But we can’t leave them in this fight alone. We need to protect our heroes who, in return, defend our planet. Get ready to learn all about these four-legged, and two-flippered, creatures and how YOU can be a climate hero too!
