Yellowstone was the first national park ever created anywhere in the world, with a history spanning more than 150 years. And although it remains one of the least human-altered landscapes in the United States, the impacts of climate change are already becoming visible across this iconic conservation area. EPI students learn about this impacts through participatory science while collecting data for ongoing research

The Galápagos Islands were fundamental to our understanding of life's evolution on Earth, but the effects of climate change are already evident in this natural sanctuary. Because they are islands, their ecosystems are extremely fragile and now face serious risk. Faced with this alarming reality, Ecology Project International (EPI), in partnership with the local organization ECOS, is strengthening its commitment to working with young people through conservation-focused educati
