Study Projects Increasing Extreme Climate Events Impacting Wildlife Habitats by 2085

A study analyzing nearly 34,000 terrestrial vertebrate species projects that by 2050, 74% of their habitats will face heatwaves, with additional exposure to wildfires, droughts, and floods. By 2085, over a third of land animal habitats could experience multiple extreme climate events, especially in biodiversity hotspots like the Amazon, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Researchers emphasize that rapid emissions reductions could significantly limit these impacts and improve conservation outcomes.
