"This alone has negatively impacted many species, but combined with rises in temperature and reduced rainfall as a result of a changing climate, there could be catastrophic results for some populations."

Ms Mantya-Pringle said that in areas where the effects of climate change and habitat loss were severe, current efforts to manage the problem could be inadequate. Read the full report here.
