Climate Change Could Make Relief Even More Necessary
Climate change is also increasing the need for lending wildlife a helping hand. The Southwest is drying out, and the region is currently locked in a megadrought, the likes of which hasn’t been seen in at least 1,200 years. It’s expected to dry further in the coming decades, and that could intensify drought. That means wildlife will need to adapt to survive—and humans may have to lend an even bigger hand to help them do just that.
