Amazon mammals threatened by climate change

Most land-based mammals of the Brazilian Amazon are threatened by climate change and savannization of the region. “The Amazon’s biodiversity is very susceptible to climate change effects. It’s not just local; it’s a global phenomenon. We cannot stop this just by law enforcement, for example. These species are more susceptible than we realized, and even protected areas can’t protect them as much as we thought.” Says Daniel Rocha from University of California What is savannization and how it impacts land-based mammals you can read at: www.sciencedaily.com or in Rocha, D.
