U.S. Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center Climate Change and Wildlife Health: Direct and Indirect Effects
Printed on recycled paper Climate change effects must be distinguished from other human activities that threaten human and animal health, such as habitat destruction and urbanization, the introduction of exotic and invasive species, and pollution. Clearly, these human activities directly affect ecos...
