Overview of The Next Great Migration

Everything We Know About Migration Is Wrong
Walk into any museum of natural history and you'll find dioramas frozen in time-lions prowling African savannas, polar bears stalking Arctic ice, butterflies perched on native flowers. These exhibits whisper a seductive lie: that nature exists in perfect stasis, each creature locked in its rightful place. But step outside and look up during spring or fall. Those dark clouds moving across the sky? They're not storm systems-they're millions of migrating birds, detected by the same radar technology that once mistook them for invading bombers during World War II. The truth is, nearly half of all tracked species are already on the move, shifting their ranges as the planet warms. And humans? We're not watching this exodus from the sidelines. We're part of it-and always have been. In California's sun-scorched hills, a small butterfly called Edith's checkerspot revealed something scientists didn't want to see. Instead of dying out as temperatures rose, these creatures simply moved-northward and upward, following the climate they needed to survive. When researcher Camille Parmesan published her findings in 1996, it wasn't an anomaly. It was a pattern playing out everywhere. Forests in the Himalayas are climbing nineteen meters per decade. Red foxes are pushing into Arctic territory. Parasites are appearing in Alaska for the first time. Marine species are relocating even faster than land animals, racing toward the poles at seventy-five kilometers per decade. Meanwhile, humans are moving too. Tibetan refugees cross mountain passes. Climate disasters displace families from their homes. By 2045, desertification could force 60 million people from sub-Saharan Africa alone, with rising seas potentially adding 180 million more by 2100. Yet despite this mounting evidence, we cling to the idea that migration is abnormal-a crisis, a threat, an invasion. Where did this belief come from? The answer lies not in nature, but in the stories we've told ourselves about it.
