Two of the world’s 10 most endangered habitat areas in the world are in California, according to a new report from the Endangered Species Coalition. The report, entitled “ It’s Getting Hot Out There: Top 10 Places to Save for Endangered Species in a Warming World,” examines how the changing climate is increasing the risk of extinction for imperiled fish, plants, and wildlife, and the importance of protecting key ecosystems. The two California habitat areas selected are the San Francisco Bay-Delta and the Sierra Range. Both of these locations are critical for the survival of bird species at risk.
