Climate change, extreme weather & human stressors threaten global biodiversity
- "The study, published today, mapped over 100 locations where tropical forests and coral reefs have been affected by climate extremes such as hurricanes, floods, heatwaves, droughts and fires. It provides an overview of how these very diverse ecosystems are being threatened by a combination of ongoing climate changes, increasingly extreme weather and damaging local human activities. The international team of researchers argue that only international action to decrease CO2 emissions can reverse this trend." - Excerpt from The Royal Society Publishing
