In collaboration with the UMass Amherst Scientists I was tasked with creating an illustration that showed the effects on climate change’s rising temperature and its effect on the ecosystems in northeastern U.S.

In result of warmer winters, organisms that thrive in the cold temperatures are now struggling to survive. Trees accustomed to cold conditions are now stressed, Moose are unable to battle against the winter ticks, snow hares confused on where to hide along the brown forest, and Lynx’s unable to keep up with the invading Bobcats in the hunt for food.
