Half of North Americas bird species vulnerable to climate change, study finds

Blue and Green: Approximately half of North Americas 650 bird species, including the bald eagle, will be disrupted by climate change over the next 65 years, a new report has found, with some expected to go extinct. The report, published by the National Audubon Society, has described the shrinking habitats and ranges of bird species to be a crisis scenario for North Americas diverse ecology. Some 126 species are expected to lose over 50% of their current ranges, in some cases the figure is 100%. However, whilst...
Almost Half North American Bird Species Threatened By Climate Change

ThinkProgress: Nearly half the bird species in North America are threatened by climate change, according to a new report. The report, published Monday by the National Audubon Society, found that as the the climate of North America changes, 126 bird species will lose more than half - with some at risk of losing 100 percent - of their current ranges by 2050, and will have no possibility of colonizing new areas if warming continues unabated. That`s about 21 percent of North America`s 650 or so bird species. On...

Climate Change Will Disrupt Half of North America Bird Species, Study Says

New York Times: The Baltimore oriole will probably no longer live in Maryland, the common loon might leave Minnesota, and the trumpeter swan could be entirely gone. Those are some of the grim prospects outlined in a report released on Monday by the National Audubon Society, which found that climate change is likely to so alter the bird population of North America that about half of the approximately 650 species will be driven to smaller spaces or forced to find new places to live, feed and breed over the next...
Mountain species & ecosystems face threats from climate change
2014-09-03 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science World Report: As our climate changes, mountain species may be facing an uphill climb. Scientists have taken a closer look at mountain ecosystems and have examined the issues threatening wildlife in these systems in order to create better targeted conservation efforts. Mountains cover about 27 percent of the earth's surface. Despite some degree of protection due to the fact that they aren't easily accessed, though, mountain regions are still fragile ecosystems that are threatened by human-related impacts such...
