Join the One World Journeys team on a trek through the Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica. Meet renowned ecologists studying effects of climate change on amphibians, bats, birds and plant life. Learn how each discovery adds a piece to the global warming puzzle.
Every day our team in the field weaves sounds and images together, then adds text, creating a total visual and auditory feast for you to enjoy. During the Live Journey, the field team uploads one of these new stories, called Field Dispatches, every other day. Each day in between, we'll bring you a new Special Report. Special Reports help provide you with an overall understanding of the many different topics and issues of climate change that might not be covered in the team's Field Dispatches.
