A  <\/span>recent report from the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute<\/span> looked at species vulnerability to climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>According wildlife biologist and co-author Dr. Christopher Shank<\/span>, the study focused on 173 species including plants, birds, mammals, insects, reptiles and amphibians.<\/span> <\/p>\n

He says even if animals can pick up and move as conditions change, they may not find a suitable habitat elsewhere.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

DR CHRISTOPHER SHANK:  <\/span><\/span><\/strong>We can draw a number of conclusions.  <\/span>One of them is that amphibians are the group that are most at risk from climate change.  <\/span>Birds and mammals are less because of that ability to move.   <\/span>The other thing is that, particularly in the southeastern part of the province,  <\/span>the barriers to movement which are put up by the large expanse of crops, the many roads, the urbanization, they are going to pose a barrier to dispersal of some of the southeastern species.  <\/span>And we really have to think about how we’re  <\/span>going to to overcome that to allow them to move. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Dr. Shank says the next step for the ABMI is to take a more detailed look at the species most at risk to develop management plans for them.<\/span><\/p>\n
