TheVoiceOfJoyce Conflicts over scarce resources are happening in the animal kingdom. As the glaciers melt out West, the long horn sheep and mountain goats fight over exposed mineral nutrients. Farmers, ranchers and townspeople are fighting over water rights. In Africa, the rhinos are fighting elephants for water rights and the US and Russia see the melting Arctic as a military threat. How will we choose to live in a world of fewer resources for everyone? Will we fight for survival, diminishing our resources or will we acknowledge our stewardship of our planet and rebuild? We’ve rebuilt before and we can do it again.

Berger said that global heating was heightening the risk of conflict in various parts of the world, among creatures such as rhinoceroses and elephants as they try to access diminishing water supplies. Some humans, too, are reacting to these changes with adversity in mind, with the US and Russia viewing the melting away of the Arctic as a military threat.

“Whether we are dealing with humans or non-human mammals, we know climate change is reshaping all of our futures,” Berger said.
