Exceeding Paris climate goals could devastate mammal biodiversity worldwide
The study looked at how different levels of global warming could affect mammal biodiversity. They found that if we exceed the Paris Agreement's limits, there could be a 34% loss of habitat for mammals, putting many species at risk. However, if we stick to the 1.5°C target, the loss could be reduced to 19%, with fewer biomes facing critical levels of habitat loss. This shows that taking action to limit global warming is crucial for protecting mammal biodiversity.
