Briefings

A new study published in Conservation Letters identifies specific locations in Europe where climatic stability and wildlife movement opportunities overlap, highlighting areas where climate change threatens protected-area networks. The research reveals critical gaps that could undermine conservation efforts if not addressed.

Key points

• The study identifies specific geographic locations in Europe where climatic stability and opportunities for wildlife movement coincide, indicating high priority areas for conservation.
• Gaps in the protected-area network could undermine conservation efforts if these identified areas are not adequately managed to support wildlife movement under changing climate conditions.

Context

Climate change increasingly impacts wildlife conservation by disrupting the conditions within protected areas and the connectivity between them. This study provides a map of Europe's vulnerable zones.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to a single published article from Conservation Letters. The study does not provide specific dates for the climate stability windows, nor does it offer data on the current size of identified gaps or the number of species affected.
