Migrations in Motion - The Nature Conservancy
As climate change alters habitats and disrupts ecosystems, where will animals move to survive? And will human development prevent them from getting there?

Researchers from University of Washington and The Nature Conservancy modeled potential habitat for 2954 species using climate change projections and the climatic needs of each species.
