Polar bears? Pacific islands disappearing beneath the waves? French wine in crisis? In an unprecedented and unique collaboration, Africa Geographic has joined together with the leading Geographical titles from around the world - Australian Geographic, New Zealand Geographic, Geographical and Canadian Geographic - in a global climate awareness campaign.
“The initiative grew out of a meeting of the magazines' respective publishers and editors last year,” says Sarah Borchert, editor of Africa Geographic. “The impetus was the declaration of 2008 as the International Polar Year and, initially, the features were going to be focused on the North and South poles. The more we chatted about it, though, the more we realised that the effects of climate change, though most extreme at the ends of the earth, are being felt everywhere and it was decided to put together a collective ‘pot' of strong human-interest stories underpinned by accessible and informative science.
