The Climate Challenge
The Eastern Region is likely to be one of the hardest hit by climate change in the UK. We can expect to see more floods in winter and more storms, fires and droughts in summer. Our coast will also be under significant threat from rising sea levels.
Many of our familiar wildlife species are under threat, from dormice and frogs to beech trees and bluebells. To adapt to climate change, British wildlife will need to move along 'climate corridors' up and down the country.
Wildlife has had to track north and south in the face of ice ages and warm periods over the past three million years, but this time the change is faster and our wildlife areas are smaller and much more fragmented, with roads, hostile countryside and developments that prevent local species from moving and adapting to changes.
For many of us, it's difficult to see how we can make much of an impact on this global problem.
Want to make a bigger impact?
The Wildlife Trusts are working faster and on a bigger scale than ever before to help wildlife cope with climate change.
