PPT-ANIMAL EXTINCTIONS TO BE CAUSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE

This exercise is one of many PowerPoint programs from httpmurovinfo This site presents images of animals and asks the user to name the animal The images presented are animals that are experiencing worrisome declines in populations Most of the declines are the result of human action and most often at least partially due to climate change eg see . Mass extinctions are global events characterized by unusually high rates of extinction The magnitude of these rates is usu ally unspecified but it is generally significantly higher than the rate of so called background extinctions that is extinc tio Joseph Stewart, UN Reno.
