According to the latest data, about 266 species of plants and animals on planet Earth are on the verge of extinction. This situation largely depends on the fact that the climate begins to change very quickly and many species cannot adapt to new conditions.
According to scientists, amphibians, reptiles and plants are the most susceptible to a gradual increase in temperature on the planet. At the same time, a significant threat hung over the inhabitants of the tropical zone.
Environmentalists have conducted their own research on the rapid climate change on the planet. Their experiment involved 266 different animals and plants. These included insects, reptiles, birds, mammals, amphibians. According to scientists, the rate of climate change may be the very reason that destroyed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
It should be noted that populations of some species will decline by two-thirds by 2020. At the same time, it is recorded that the greatest ability to adapt to changing conditions can be traced in mammals and birds, but amphibians will have a very difficult time. It is noted that although some animals will move to higher latitudes, this process will remain impossible for many species.
