Worldwide scientific concensus tells us that climate change is real and
even now is impacting our nation's ecosystems--the forests, grasslands,
wetlands, and oceans that provide our air and water, and also provide
food and shelter for self-sustaining fish and wildlife populations.
These natural systems and wildlife resources also sustain people by
providing food, jobs, and recreation. As climate changes, the abundance
and distribution of fish and wildlife will also change.EarthSayers Stuart Leon; Anne Morekill |
