Biodiversity

Climate change will impact California's biodiversity by affecting habitat, availability and timing of food supply, temperatures, extreme climate events such as floods and fires, and other changes. The Department of Fish and Game is working with many other agencies to conduct research on impacts to wildlife and to develop effective adaptation strategies, including vulnerability assessment tools, climate change case studies and more.
