climate change effects on wildlife
FIND OUT HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS IMPACTING... Wildlife depends on healthy habitats. Climate change is altering key habitat elements that are critical to wildlife's survival and putting natural resources in jeopardy. Melting arctic ice removes hunting ground from Polar Bears.
Species may not be able to adapt to this rapid climate change or to move fast enough to more suitable areas as their current areas become less suitable for them. Unless significant action is taken now, global warming will likely become the single most important factor to affect wildlife since the emergence of mankind.
