On Wednesday, April 16 at 7:30 pm at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster Cindy Milburn, Senior Advisor, International Fund 
for Animal Welfare, will present "On Thin Ice: Climate Change and 
Marine Mammals." This lecture is free to the public.

Signs of global climate change are all around us. Ice-dependent 
marine mammals in the Arctic are really feeling the heat. A recent 
report by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) concluded that loss of 
habitat from melting sea-ice could drive polar bears to extinction 
within the next century. Seals, whales, walruses and many other 
species are also at risk.

Learn more about these charismatic animals, how they are being 
impacted by global warming and why this matters to all the animals 
and people of our shared world.

For further information and registration, please contact the Cape Cod 
Museum of Natural History, 508-896-3867, Ext. 133.
