Addressing Local Extinctions in Temperate Zones

Climate change is driving more local extinctions in temperate zones than in the tropics, contradicting long-held theories. Temperate regions are warming at twice the rate of tropical regions, and species in these areas are equally sensitive to heat. This disparity presents a significant challenge to conservation efforts. The current understanding and strategies may need to be revised to address this issue effectively.
