Researchers have found and mapped climate change safe havens, areas around the world that are more resilient to warming, according to Good Good Good. These refugia include areas with unique geographic features like deep valleys, coastal fog zones, and high-altitude regions that maintain cooler temperatures.
Identifying these areas is crucial for conservation, as they can serve as sanctuaries for species threatened by rising temperatures. The research provides a roadmap for prioritizing conservation efforts.
Scientists say these safe havens could play a critical role in preventing species extinctions in the coming decades, helping governments protect the areas most likely to sustain biodiversity.
