Our Land: Loving Our Changing Homelands

For seven years on NMPBS, “Our Land: New Mexico’s Environmental Past, Present, and Future” has covered so many aspects of climate change: from the oil and gas industry’s greenhouse gas emissions to how human-caused warming affects our rivers, forests, and public health.  In an all-new special, “Loving Our Changing Homelands,” Our Land Senior Producer Laura Paskus  explores the role that love must play in adapting to a changing climate. 

This special was supported in part by PBS’s Climate Station Engagement Initiative.
