A piece of land affected by Climate Change |
Three
new studies by a group of international researchers, have attributed discussions
on climate change as making biodiversity conversation more expensive.
The
studies said, this has shown an increase in the cost of conserving
biodiversity, clean water and clean air by more than 100 per cent, reports PhysOrg.
The
studies NaijaAgroNet learnt was named 'Wake-up Call for
cost-efficient biodiversity conservation and climate stabilizations' and was
conducted in South Africa, Madagascar and California by Conservation
International.
The
lead author of the studies report, Lee Hannah, senior scientist for climate
change biology at Conservation International said specific effects of climate
change on species in South Africa, Madagascar and California are very
different.
The
costs of conserving climate change effects, Lee said will certainly increase
considerably in all the regions examined.
"We
can have a healthy planet and keep extra costs to a minimum by acting quickly
to cut emissions and incorporate climate change into conservation plans,"
Lee Hannah said.
Climate scientist and associate vice
president for Environmental Defense Fund, Rebecca Shaw while commenting on the
report of the study said the set of studies from around the world is a wake-up
calls as people have been struggling to conserve the nature we depend on for
clean air and clean water without climate change.
