Lists are always a good way of capturing people’s attention, but the list of “America’s Hottest Species: Ten Endangered Wildlife, Fish, & Plants Impacted by Climate Change” compiled by the Endangered Species Coalition is not one a species wants to be on, not if they hope to survive in this changing world.

Topping the list of the Hottest Species in America is the Kauai creeper or ‘Akikiki, which is a type of honeycreeper, a group of birds that shows tremendous variation. At least 59 species originally occurred in Hawaii, but, with human settlement came multiple introductions of exotic species that caused the extinction of all but 17 honeycreepers.

Others on the list include grizzly bears, pacific salmon, bull trout, and Canada lynx. All suffer from loss of habitat and food sources that comes with climate change. Whether any of them make it will in large part depend on the decisions of human beings.
