How bad could climate change get? Could the worst-cases result in global catastrophe, or even long-term human extinction? In this panel, leading scientists discuss what we know about the worst-case scenarios, what we don’t know, and how we can study the catastrophic risks of climate change. youtube.com/watch?v=dkDbC…
Critically endangered Hainan gibbons return from brink of extinction, thanks to Hong Kong group’s conservation efforts. Population of world’s rarest primate grows from fewer than 10 in 1970 to more than 30. Expanding gibbons’ habitat a way to beat risks posed by low birth rate, climate change. scmp.com/news/hong-kong/h…
Over 60 percent of wild coffee species are at risk for extinction. While we don't drink coffee from these beans, they possess traits that could save commercial species from climate change and other dangers. blogs.discovermagazine.co…

At-risk nations fear extinction after IPCC report. "We are paying with our lives for the carbon someone else emitted," said Mohamed Nasheed, a former Maldives president who represents almost 50 countries that are vulnerable to the effects of climate change. bbc.com/news/world-580644…
Climate change may push some species to higher elevations - and out of harm's way. Upslope movements may push species away from human pressure, which could reduce extinction risk for many mountain-dwelling species. newsroom.wcs.org/News-Rel…
Climate change, rising seas may lead to extinction of small island nations "sea levels would continue to rise even in a best-case scenario, putting coastal communities at risk of flooding and destruction." nbcnews.com/news/world/cl…
The wild relatives of some of the world’s most important crops are at risk of extinction, threatening efforts to breed plants with greater resilience to climate change and improve yields, according to a new paper presented Tuesday at the IUCN World Conservation Congress. thefern.org/ag_insider/iu…

Climate change combined with galloping tropical deforestation is cutting off wildlife from life-saving cooler climes, heightening the risk of extinction. Less than two fifths of forests across Latin America, Asia and Africa allow for animals and plants to avoid intolerable increases in temperature france24.com/en/20190708-…
