Article Synopsis
- Climate change and habitat loss are key factors influencing where wildlife species live, and understanding their interaction helps predict future wildlife distributions and shape conservation strategies.
- In northern Michigan, researchers studied how habitat and climate affect four climate-sensitive species (American marten, snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, and moose) using advanced statistical models and various data sources.
- Results showed that different species have unique habitat preferences and responses to temperature changes, highlighting the importance of managing specific habitats to support these vulnerable species amid climate change challenges.
Investments in watershed services (IWS) programs, in which downstream water users pay upstream watershed service suppliers for actions that protect drinking water, are increasing in number and scope. IWS programs represent over $170 million of investment in over 4.3 million ha of watersheds, providing water to over 230 million people.
