Protected-area targets could be undermined by climate change-driven shifts in ecoregions and biomes

S. Z. Dobrowski, C. E. Littlefield, et al.

This groundbreaking study investigates the critical impact of climate change on the global protected area network and biodiversity patterns. Conducted by an expert team including Solomon Z. Dobrowski and Caitlin E. Littlefield, it reveals that approximately half of the terrestrial landscape will face climate conditions that alter ecosystem representation, challenging conservation efforts.
