Emergency on Planet Earth

Our planet is in crisis. From the soaring heights of ancient forests to the hidden depths of our oceans, life on Earth is facing unprecedented challenges. Confronting the urgent issue of biodiversity and habitat loss, this is first in a new series of exhibitions at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery that explores different aspects of the Earth crisis and encourages collective action.

Discover how human activity has disrupted the delicate balance of nature’s systems and explore the profound impact on every living thing – including us. Why is biodiversity essential for our food, medicine, clean air, and even our cultural well-being? And what happens when it’s lost?

This eye-opening exhibition will challenge your perspectives and encourage collective action. Featuring global insights and local stories, Emergency on Planet Earth asks vital questions about our relationship with the natural world and how we can adapt for a sustainable future.
