Protecting Species At Risk
A recently released report from the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) approximates that 20-30 percent of animal and plant species could be at an increased risk of extinction if increases in global average temperatures exceed 1.5 to 2.5 degrees Celsius. The result: up to 60 percent species loss in some areas if global warming continues unabated.

It won't take much to push these species to extinction. And, while this information is sobering, it also provides an opportunity to act before it is too late.

Irreplaceable: Traveling Exhibit
Earthjustice, working in collaboration with the Noah Alliance and the International League of Conservation Photographers, has launched the Irreplaceable: Wildlife in a Warming World campaign, a partnership of faith, science, justice, and art to educate policymakers and the public about the impacts of global warming on wildlife. We do this through the beauty and power of images combined with the inspiration and knowledge from science, religion, and conservation law. We believe this diverse partnership will show that we can work together toward a common goal.
