This 11x17 inch poster displays illustrations from our "Climate Cryptids" series, where we explore the impacts of climate change on cryptids and the places they (allegedly) call home. Explore individual Climate Cryptids illustrations here.

What happens to animals that are losing habitat because of sea level rise? They become ghost fauna. 

Just like “ghost forests” are forests of trees that couldn’t survive once the area was flooded, ghost fauna are animals that can no longer live in their homes once water covers the land.

Bad news, folks. We missed Jackalope season! We’ll have to try again next June 31. Don’t forget to apply for the proper hunting license! (It’s a real thing. Look it up, we’ll wait).

Whether you drink goat blood or water, you’ve been extra thirsty in the desert Southwest lately!

The southwestern U.S. has been experiencing a “megadrought” over the last two decades, straining water resources necessary for ecosystems, agriculture, and communities. Climate change is exacerbating dry conditions, making water shortages more severe.
