Sportsmen & Climate Change - Conservation Field Notes with Steven Rinella

In the next century, nearly 40 percent of the natural ecosystems where sportsmen hunt and fish will change due to a number of reasons, including climate change. •Higher water temperatures in waterways such as Montana's Yellowstone River negatively impact trout populations.

•Drier and warmer weather patterns aggravate fire cycles in states like Oregon. Temperature changes can push out native species and allow foreign species to disrupt the natural food cycles.
