The success of future conservation efforts will depend upon our abilities to understand and predict ecosystem changes and take action to help species adjust to a changing climate.
The unmistakable signs of a rapidly changing climate are everywhere -- melting glaciers, heat waves, rising seas, flowers blooming earlier, lakes freezing later, migratory birds delaying their flights south. Accelerated climate change is the single biggest threat to wildlife. It is impacting all ecosystems, habitats, and species -- not just those identified as imperiled. Small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference.
