Pairis on California's new state bird guide highlighting climate change risk
"This is really pivotal research that will help us plan for mitigating the effects of climate change," said Amber Pairis, climate change adviser for the Department of Fish and Game. Pairis said the state agency is building similar lists for rare plant species, amphibians, reptiles and mammals.
She said the study and guide provide a platform for allowing climate change to become part of conservation discussions and not treated as a separate topic or chapter.
"This study has done a really great job at highlighting and underscoring the department's commitment to conserving these resources and the public trust," she said.
