Α�?κτο�?�?ος: Protecting Biodiversity Against the Effects of Climate Change Through the Endangered Species Act

Abstract

Climate change is driving the anthropocene extinction, the sixth great extinction spasm of the Phanerozoic Eon. Large-scale habitat destruction puts many plant and animal species at risk of extinction. This essay describes the use of the Endangered Species Act to protect biodiversity from the effects of climate change.
