Wildlife matters!
Apr 30, 2008
Canadian climate watchers got hot and bothered last month over the release of Natural Resources Canada's big report on how the country should address the impacts of climate change. While the report acknowledged that climate change will have "unequivocal" and "significant" implications for ecosystems and wildlife, it didn't put us threatened Boreal critters at high priority for action.
Climate change, on top of habitat loss and other factors, is bad news for wildlife -- 20 to 30% of all species are at increased risk of extinction, according to the International Panel on Climate Change!. Protecting threatened plants and animals has to be a priority in the fight against climate change. It's a shame that Natural Resources Canada doesn't agree.
