California Fish & Wildlife Feeling the Heat
Published May 1, 2008
Sacramento, CA (May 1) – Global warming is already taking a toll on California’s waterways and the outdoor recreation economy they sustain, according to a new report from the National Wildlife Federation and the Planning and Conservation League Foundation. If business continues as usual, spring-run Chinook salmon could disappear from the Central Valley, according to new peer-reviewed scientific data.
At risk are river, wetland, and coastal habitats, home to fish, waterfowl, and other birds that annually contribute to $8.2 billion of spending in California and attract more than 8.1 million wildlife watchers, 1.7 million anglers and 284,000 hunters.
