Welcome
Conserving the Nature of America in a Changing Climate
“The warming of the earth could potentially have a more far-reaching impact on wildlife and wildlife habitat than any challenge that has come before us.” Dale Hall, former Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Read more from former Director Hall.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports in their “Summary for Policymakers of the Synthesis Report of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report” that “(w)arming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level.”
In the report, the IPCC predicted impacts
on natural systems due to climate change. This website provides resources
