One exception is a study on the likely effects of climate change on priority areas for species conservation. The study, jointly undertaken by CONABIO, INE and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), finds that 69 species of terrestrial vertebrates are likely to lose their areas of distribution as a result of climate change in projected scenarios to 2030 and 2050 (Martinez-Meyer et al., Broader, more comprehensive studies of this kind would help identify how key pressures on biodiversity and forests may evolve, and would thus help in prioritising possible policy interventions for the future.
