Biomeridians
Songs of Adaptation measures stories along biomeridians.
Biomeridians are lines placed on the landscape that connect a range of very different habitats.
For example, a biomeridian is observed along a mountain slope. A mountain might be tropical at the bottom and snow-covered at the peak.
Climate change shifts these habitats.
As temperatures increase, animals and plants begin to move upward on the mountain.
By monitoring multiple habitats, this project provides a way to observe those changes.
Learn more about the Historical Context of biomeridians.

environments.
Wildlife managers gather
information to make evidence-based
management decisions.
Inclusive participation
leads to sustainable
adaptation.
Two-way knowledge transfer
