• Resumen

  • Between a quarter and a half of all bird species, along with around a third of amphibians and a quarter of corals, are highly vulnerable to climate change. That's according to the most comprehensive assessment to date of the impact of global warming on life. Its results have led some researchers to warn that unprecedented conservation efforts will be needed if people don't cut emissions. The new assessment was carried out by scientists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the organization that compiles the Red List of Threatened Species.
