It has all led to irreversible changes in the climate patterns, which result with a change in the distribution of species of animals on the planet. While environmentalists are fighting to reduce the impact of human activity on the earth’s ecosystems, the scientists are working to understand the long-term consequences and the possible solutions to the problems that might occur in the following years.
