Well designed nature solutions can mitigate the extremes of climate change .
Because of failing balances in the ecosystem due to unsustainable use, coupled with the greenhouse emissions, the world’s temperatures have continued to rise, making life difficult to many species of flora and fauna to thrive in places where they once lived.
Scientists estimate that 8% of current animal species are at risk of extinction due to climate change alone. Near the equator, a region with Earth’s highest biodiversity, many species are not able to adapt to rising temperatures. It is also estimated that by 2070 nearly 20% of tropical plant species will be unable to germinate because of temperatures beyond their upper limit.
