Should humans rescue animals from the perils of climate change?

Hurricane Ian struck Southwest Florida in the same place where Florida’s powerful Calusa natives lived over 2,000 years ago. From dealing with sea level fluctuations to a massive hurricane around A.D. 300, their fishing and building adaptations can teach us about dealing with coastal change.

Climate change threatens not only the future of Florida’s barrier islands, but all they hold about the past.
