One in six species is at risk of extinction because of climate change.
To survive, plants, animals and birds confronted with climate change have two options: move or adapt. With the speed of climate change we are experiencing already, it’s often not possible for a species to adapt quickly enough to keep up with its changing environment. And with the amount of habitat destruction, dam building, roads and cities expanding, moving is becoming increasingly difficult.
