In today's second hour of "Environmental Connections" — a monthly series hosted by Jasmin Singer that covers climate-related issues affecting you — we focus on the animals displaced by climate change.

We’ll discuss how species are being forced into unfamiliar territories, like birds migrating from Canada into upstate New York earlier than expected, and the challenges they face in these new environments.

Our panel of experts will provide insights into the impact of climate change on wildlife and farmed animals, and what can be done to help these animals adapt and survive.

Our guests:

Tune in on the last Friday of every month from 12-2pm for "Environmental Connections."
