2010 Wild Resource Conservation Calendar Features Animals At Climate Change Risk

The Wild Resource Conservation Program now has available a new calendar for 2010 featuring Pennsylvania animals at risk of becoming threatened, endangered or extinct for a variety of reasons.

As people pave over more land for their homes, shopping centers, and roads our animals lose their habitat. Pollution from cars, industrial plants, and farms end up in our waterways, making streams and rivers inhospitable for most plants and animals. The growing threat of hotter temperatures and stronger storms caused by climate change means that these animals must adapt, move, or die.

The animals in the 2010 Wild Resource Conservation Program online calendar are some that may face particular risks due to their limited habitat and sensitivity.
