Climate change impacts are not discussed in key conservation documents for about half of Australia's critically endangered species, a new analysis has found:
Federal government plans to save Australia's most endangered species routinely fail to deal with climate change threats, a new analysis shows.
GreenLaw, which conducts environmental law research, found climate change impacts were omitted from the conservation documents for 178 of 334 critically endangered species and ecological communities. "Other documents acknowledge global warming, but state it is 'beyond the scope of the plan' to propose measures to address the threat.
"ACF urges the federal government to update all recovery plans and conservation advices using the best available science and allocate more funding to endangered species research so we can understand the specific challenges facing each species."
