"Conserving the Nature of America in a Changing Climate"

Worldwide scientific concensus tells us that climate change is real and even now is impacting our nation's ecosystems--the forests, grasslands, wetlands, and oceans that provide our air and water, and also provide food and shelter for self-sustaining fish and wildlife populations. These natural systems and wildlife resources also sustain people by providing food, jobs, and recreation. As climate changes, the abundance and distribution of fish and wildlife will also change. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other resource agencies will need an engaged and informed public to help make decisions how best to respond to climate change impacts, and to help find solutions to eventually halt and reverse accelerating climate change.
