WASHINGTON, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The United States is one of 17 nations that scientists call megadiverse—places that harbor the majority of Earth's plant and animal species, along with high numbers of species found nowhere else.

Key Points: 
  • Five key approaches can help people and nature thrive on a changing planet.
  • Yet, in the U.S. many of these plants and animals face multiple threats, including from a changing climate that can damage habitats and ecosystems.
  • Human communities feel these impacts—from harm to livelihoods and damage to homes and property to strained state and federal finances.
  • Protecting communities from natural disasters and other climate change effects demands collaboration among all government levels and an engaged, informed public.
