Carolina's "hotspots" protecting animals from climate changes [SPECIAL]

from Carolina Weather Group · host CarolinaWeatherGroup.com

Animals are on the move to escape rising temperatures and increased floods and drought, but some could find refuge in North Carolina's Sandhills and Southern Blue Ridge, according to a new map developed by scientists at The Nature Conservancy. The map pinpoints biodiverse "hotspots" that are likely to be buffered from dramatic climate changes. Plus one Pew study found the nation's water systems - including those in the Carolinas - are on the cusp of needing $100 billion worth of repairs and maintenance.  Note: The reports you hear here are  provided by the Public News Service, which seeks funding and contribution from partners including the Resource Institute and the Nature Conservancy; both of which you hear from in this reporting.
