How Does Climate Change Affect Animals?

This video gives a few examples of animals and bugs that are being affected by climate change. It's projected that 1 in 3 species will die out as a result of climate change! I was surprised that one insect benefitted from climate change, the bark beetle. But as the video explains, this means that they are growing and destroying more trees which in turn destroys the habitats of other species. It's a short video  but raises concerns about animals from different areas of the world! Climate change affects everyone!

Without Adaption Comes Extinction

TIME magazine's article from 2008 still holds a lot of truth about animals being impacted by climate change. The article discusses how while humans are being intensely affected, we can more easily adapt. Animals, though, cannot so easily adapt quickly. If an animals habitat is changed as rapidly as we're seeing they do not have time to adapt themselves and may not be able to migrate, instead they become extinct. Now when protecting animal's habitats, conservationists need to be sure that their habitat stays in the condition that is best for those animals.

Species threatened across the globe!

In the past I have symbolically adopted animals through WWF, to donate to help endangered species. Species can become endangered for a variety of reasons: natural selection, famine, disruptions in the food chain, hunting, depletion of their homes, and climate change. Climate change is effecting species all across the globe on land and in our oceans. WWF has a link on their page (here) that touches on just a few animals from different places around the world that are at risk, from the same culprit: climate change.
