Now, new research from the ³ÉÈË´óƬ suggests that these extremely biodiverse areas will be hit the hardest by climate change-induced oceanic warming – and the wildlife is not ready to adapt.

But illegal logging rivals those in monetary value and impact. December 14 2021 Kate Rischmueller /research/news/list/2021/12/14/stopping-the-illegal-trade-in-timber-from-a-server-farm-in-adelaide
