Climate Change and Habitats      

Climate change contributes to the decline in native plants and wildlife species. Intense storms can destroy trees, drown animals, spread invasive species, and damage aquatic ecosystems. Extreme heat and drought stress both plants and animals. Rivers will flood more frequently, species will migrate north or south, and wetlands will dry out. Climate change is expected to alter delicate ecological balances throughout the state.
