According to a new study published in Science magazine (“Rapid Range Shifts of Species Associated with High Levels of Climate Warming”), species—in response to climate change—are moving toward the poles and higher elevation in search of cooler temperatures at a more rapid pace than previously predicted. Species are moving towards the poles three times faster and climbing higher twice as fast as previously reported in 2003. The study looks at how over 1,500 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, plants and insects have responded to a warming climate over the past 40 years.

" You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something. "
