A team of British scientists from the Universities of Exeter, Manchester and Cambridge found that two-thirds of key biodiversity areas (CBAs) in tropical forests are already experiencing climate change associated with new temperature conditions. The study was published in the scientific journal magazine Letters of Protection (ConLet).

CTBs identify the most important places on Earth for flora and fauna habitats.

The team found that 66% of key biodiversity areas in tropical forests were shifting to new temperature regimes. Moreover, more than 40% of recorded changes are outside the previously recorded range.

The proportion of climate change BTUs was particularly high in Africa and Latin America (72% and 59%), while in Asia and Oceania the number of climate change BTUs was 49%.

The remaining 34% have yet to see new temperature patterns, and researchers suggest these places could become important refuges for species diversity.

The document highlights that of the 34% of tropical forest BCPs that do not show any change in temperature, more than half are currently unprotected.

Previous scientists recorded The number of endangered fish species has increased fivefold.
