COP15: Ten Climate Change “Flagship” Species Named
Geschreven op 17-12-2009 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Agenda, Dieren, KlimaatStarving koalas and homeless clownfish are among ten species likely to suffer huge losses due to global warming, according to a report released at the Copenhagen climate change conference by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
Although the ten species aren’t those most at risk, IUCN selected them because they are well-researched “flagship” species that are being affected by a spectrum of climate change impacts, from melting sea ice to beach erosion.
