*[Enwl-eng] Wildlife conservation is impossible if governments ignore climate change

[ENWLine]

If we don't acknowledge climate change, endangered species will suffer. The Australian Government Must Acknowledge the Dangers that Climate Change Poses for Wildlife!      Sign Now        It is impossible to talk about threats to wildlife without mentioning climate change. From intensifying wildfires and habitat destruction, to worsening drought and starvation, to disrupting mating and migration patterns, climate change is a severe threat to the survival of many endangered species. Yet more than half of Australia's government documents outlining hazards to endangered species and habitats, as well as their plans for mitigation, don't mention climate change once. How in the world does Australia's government hope to preserve these incredible species if it won't even acknowledge this major menace?   The science is settled — climate change is real, humans are causing it, and we must act fast. But Australia's plans for endangered species management is apparently decades behind current scientific consensus. This is fairly ironic, considering that the first mammal reported extinct as a direct result of climate change was the Bramble Cay melomys of Australia. Now, the IUCN estimates that more than 10,000 species are at risk due to increased greenhouse gas emissions and rising global temperatures. As a country that is home to more than half a million species — as much as 10% of all species on Earth — Australia should be on the front lines of the fight for biodiversity. And that means the fight against climate change. Sign the petition to urge Australia's Minister for the Environment, Sussan Ley, to give wildlife a real chance by incorporating climate science into ecosystem and species conservation. Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. There is no hope for many endangered species if conservation efforts don't factor in the dangers caused by a warming planet.
