Wildlife is moving beyond the safety of protected lands
In short: As global temperatures rise, iconic species are forced to migrate into new territories. This visualization explores how these shifts impact conservation efforts for North American wildlife.
The video examines the shifting habitats of the wolverine, an iconic North American wilderness species. As the climate changes, these animals are moving outside of established protected areas that were originally designed to ensure their survival.
Supported by NOAA and produced by the American Museum of Natural History, the project highlights specific predictions and potential solutions for managing these range shifts. It underscores a critical challenge for conservationists: protecting species that no longer stay within human-defined boundaries.
