"Greater conservation efforts are needed to protect Antarctic ecosystems, and
the populations of up to 97% of land-based Antarctic species could decline by
2100 if we don’t change tack, our new research has found.
The study, published today, also found just US$23 million per year would be
enough to implement ten key strategies to reduce threats to Antarctica’s
biodiversity.
This relatively small sum would benefit up to 84% of terrestrial bird, mammal,
and plant groups.
We identified climate change as the biggest threat to Antarctica’s unique plant
and animal species. Limiting global warming is the most effective way to secure
their future."
