Great Lakes Protect Habitat | Union of Concerned Scientists

HABITAT MANAGEMENT
As temperatures increase and seasonal precipitation changes, so will vegetation and the habitat that native species of the Great Lakes region depend upon. To ensure that species such as moose, cranes, migrating songbirds, and many others continue to survive in the region, it is important to protect remaining habitat.


Solution strategies:	IMPROVE CORRIDORS	PROTECT HABITAT	STOP SPECIES INVASIONS
Healthy natural and well-managed ecosystems are more resilient to external stresses stemming from natural or human sources. It is thus vital to maintain functioning ecosystems that will help to manage climate change impacts and continue to provide services such as flood control, water purification, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity preservation.
