Climate change poses a number of threats to wildlife - from shifting habitat suitability as temperatures rise to increasing disturbances from more intense storms, habitat loss due to sea-level rise, and more. Different species will have different abilities to adapt or respond to climate change, resulting in changes to the relationships between species. Fortunately, there are a variety of things we can do to help protect wildlife and habitat in a changing climate.
