Species richness in 2080: The geographic ranges of common plants and animals will shrink globally and thus species richness will decline almost everywhere. The top two maps show how species richness declines without mitigation, with the red areas showing the greatest declines. Plants, reptiles and particularly amphibians are expected to be at highest risk. Sub-Saharan Africa, Central America, Amazonia and Australia would lose the most species of plants and animals. The lower four maps show how the declines can be reduced by mitigation. (Credit: Nature Climate Change)
