Natural England: Much of Northern Europe’s already fragmented habitats face a grim future due to climate change according to new research published by BRANCH. Hampshire’s coastline will be squeezed by rising sea levels, whilst butterflies like the Adonis blue will run out of space in Kent and may become extinct.
The BRANCH project (Biodiversity, Spatial Planning and Climate Change) is an EU funded partnership between England, France and the Netherlands led by Natural England. By launching their conclusions in Brussels, BRANCH partners hope to stimulate cross-border co-operation amongst member states to create ecological networks & linkages for wildlife to colonise in transit to the nearest Sites of Special Scientific Interest and larger Natura 2000 sites.
