Half of Mediterranean species are
at risk from climate change, the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF)
said Wednesday.
In a study conducted with East Anglia University and the
James Cook University in Australia, the WWF said the Med risked
losing half of its species by the end of the century unless the
world cuts CO2 emissions.
Published in the journal Climate Change, the study examined
the situation in the Mediterranean in a wider survey on the
impact of global warming on 80,000 species of plants and animals
in 35 areas of the planet rich in biodiversity.
