Summary:
New research reveals that
Norfolk's butterflies, bees, bugs, birds, trees and mammals are at major risk
from climate change as temperatures rise. Researchers carried out the first
in-depth audit of its kind for a region in the UK to see how biodiversity might
be impacted in Norfolk as the world warms. The study finds that the region's
Swallowtail Butterfly, which can't be found anywhere else in the UK, is at risk
-- along with three quarters of bumblebee, grasshopper and moth species.
