CRiSTAL Parks: User experiences
Protected areas are essential for biodiversity and vital to the communities who depend on them. Climate change threatens protected areas and has wide-ranging impacts such as shifting habitat ranges, coral reef losses, increasing sea levels and coastal erosion which can threaten entire ecosystems.
