We invite you to listen to Dr. Katarzyna Sękiewicz’s lecture entitled “Endemic species and climate change.”

Climate change is proceeding at an alarming rate, leading to a loss of biodiversity. An important component are endemic species, which are particularly vulnerable to these changes. Preservation and protection of endemic woody species is of the greatest concern. Due to their longevity, many trees may not be able to adapt to these changes. Therefore, the preservation of endemics that represent the unique biological heritage of an area is becoming a priority in global conservation strategy.
