– species that are at risk of disappearing.
Our flora and fauna are being transformed by climate change. We can see this in many ways: flowers are blooming earlier, migratory birds are arriving earlier in the spring, there is less snow in the winter, and many species are decreasing in number.
We’re all part of nature, and there is a lot we can do to slow down climate change.
Some of these things are:
• preserving and restoring wetlands that help absorb and slow the flow of water during heavy rains
• planting trees that provide shade when the temperature rises
• creating places where insects, animals and people can be comfortable when their normal habitat becomes too dry
Nature helps us every day. It’s a part of us, and it has a lot to tell us. By listening and learning, we can see how climate change affects the natural world near us. If you look around, there are signs of climate impact everywhere. So you are important. And so is research. Together, we can manage the challenges better. Expect change.
This project was funded with support from the Authorities Network for Climate Adaptation through the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
