Climate change is bringing warmer weather, rising seas, and more intense storms to New England — and that’s putting pressure on the wildlife that has long made this region home.
For this year’s Earth Week series, NHPR is teaming up with the New England News Collaborative (NENC) to bring you stories from the field. Our regional journalists are going outside to see how species like sea slugs, salamanders, and snowshoe hares are adapting — and to meet the invasive species moving into their habitats.
Hear this special series on Morning Edition and All Things Considered beginning Monday, April 21, 2025. Listen on your radio, through NHPR's mobile app, or by asking your smart speaker to play NHPR.
Alongside this special reporting series, NHPR offers a wide range of environmental programming year-round:
