[[The World Wildlife Fund]] (WWF) emphasizes that our planet is warming at a rate faster than any time in the past 10,000 years, necessitating species to adapt to new climate patterns, such as variations in rainfall and longer, warmer summers.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Impact of climate change on species |url=https://wwf.panda.org/discover/our_focus/wildlife_practice/problems/climate_change/ |access-date=2024-02-03 |website=wwf.panda.org |language=en}}</ref> For example, the [[United States Fish and Wildlife Service|U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service]] highlighted efforts to understand and mitigate the impact of climate change on species through scientific research, modeling, and conservation actions. This includes evaluating the current condition of species, their genetic variation, and how changes in their environment may affect their survival.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-01-04 |title=Protecting threatened and endangered species in a changing climate {{!}} U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service |url=https://www.fws.gov/story/2024-01/protecting-threatened-and-endangered-species-changing-climate |access-date=2024-02-03 |website=www.fws.gov |language=en}}</ref>
