… (see below). The impacts of climate change, disease and non-native species are significant individually, but it is how they could interact with and multiply the existing threats that is of most concern. 3.2 Climate change The threat posed by climate change is thought to be the most significant threat to our biodiversity in the long term. Even with stringent carbon emission control…
