A recently released report from the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) approximates that 20-30 percent of animal and plant species could be at an increased risk of extinction if increases in global average temperatures exceed 1.5 to 2.5 degrees Celsius. The result: up to 60 percent species loss in some areas if global warming continues unabated.
The Irreplaceable campaign brings together four distinct groups — from the worlds of art, justice, science, and faith — to highlight the diversity of life we must protect from climate change. As you dive into these photos, be inspired, determined, hopeful. Help us protect these irreplaceable plants and animals.
