Climate change and extreme events increase extinction risk
#00347
Threatened animals face shifting habitats, disrupted life cycles and acute mortality as warming, drought, fire, storms, floods, ocean change and other extremes intensify.
#00362Maintain adaptive fire, water and disaster contingency plans
Prepare species-specific thresholds, refuges, response roles and recovery actions before fires, droughts, storms, floods or other extremes threaten a small population.
#00361Identify climate refugia and evaluate assisted colonization
Map places likely to retain suitable future conditions, protect natural movement routes and assess assisted colonization only when unmanaged climate risk is greater than relocation risk.
