About this exhibition: Shifting Life Zones invites visitors to explore the transformations unfolding across northern Arizona landscapes. This region, where the concept of life zones originated, is a prime example of how zones are shifting due to climate change. The exhibition unveils the shifting boundaries of plant life as they adapt to a warming world and points to changes here on the Museum’s campus and across the broader region. With vivid displays, interactive elements, and insights from MNA scientists, Shifting Life Zones brings the future of our environment into focus—highlighting the resilience of life and its challenges in a rapidly changing world.
