TRCP's Conservation Field Notes: Sportsmen & Climate Change

Overview

- 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.
