Description: 

Migration stories—of cultures, people, and animals, particularly butterflies and birds—are emerging as an effective tool for helping people relate to, understand, and take action on climate change. Connecting human migration stories to animal migration stories, especially Monarch butterflies, is spurring community-based climate action and advancing other social change goals at the same time. This tool will help you develop your own migration story activities or program. It includes examples of existing programs, ideas for developing your own programs, and two workshop guides.

Objective: 

Connect human and animal migration stories to help communities relate to climate action and develop create climate action strategies

Audience:
