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

[ENWL]

                        If we don't acknowledge climate change, endangered 
species will suffer.









                        The Australian Government Must Acknowledge the 
Dangers that Climate Change Poses for Wildlife!

                        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.

                        P.S. There is no hope for many endangered species if 
conservation efforts don't factor in the dangers caused by a warming planet.
