Pikas, tiny rabbit relatives living high in the mountains, serve as
an entry point toward understanding the consequences of climate
change. Pikas can't live in temperatures higher than 77 degrees F.
As the Earth's temperature rises, pikas must keep moving higher and
higher up the mountains to find a cooler climate in which to live.
Everything is connected in the natural world. As the pikas livable
habitat decreases, the lives of hawks, falcons, pine martins, foxes
and the many other creatures that prey upon pikas are affected. If
you are looking for an easily understandable introduction to the
consequences of climate change, this is the book for you. Glorious
photographs and a well-organized text reveal the key role pikas
play in the alpine ecosystem. Helpful diagrams demonstrate the food
web that includes this tiny mammal and other plants and animals,
also threatened by the changing climate. A glossary, map and list
of actions kids can take to help decrease climate change are also
included. Free, downloadable activities can be found on the
publisher's website.
