Weather of Arabia - US officials said that they will make it easier for scientists to move plants and animals outside their historical living ranges as a last resort to save species threatened with extinction due to climate change.

 

Relocations of species suffering from climate change have been undertaken on a limited basis so far, including in Hawaii where researchers have raced to move seabirds to new islands to save them from rising ocean waters.

 

A change to federal laws published by President Joe Biden's administration on Friday is set to allow similar transfers of some of the most vulnerable plants and animals protected by the Endangered Species Act.

 

US Secretary of Home Affairs Debra Haaland said in a statement that as global warming intensifies, changes in natural habitats "force some wild animals to move to new areas to survive, as this leads to pressure on other species that are close to extinction." She added that allowing the transfers would boost conservation efforts and help protect the species for future generations.

 

Examples of environmental disasters caused by introduced species abound, from Asian carp spreading through rivers and streams across the United States, to starlings from Europe destroying crops and driving away songbirds.
