Some species are better able to adapt to changing conditions and begin to colonize areas previously occupied by other species. This can lead to increased competition and altered ecosystems . More frequent and intense extreme weather events , such as droughts, storms, and floods, can directly impact wildlife by destroying their habitats and restricting access to food and water.
How will phenological processes manifest? Most species in high mountain regions have one thing in common: due to their long evolutionary history, they are specialists in coping very well with many factors in this extreme habitat, but least of all with change….

In this podcast episode, Dr. Andreas Steinwidder talks with wildlife biologist Dr. Gunther Greßmann from the Hohe Tauern National Park about the effects of climate change on our wildlife. What does climate change mean for this sensitive ecosystem?
Are there measures and opportunities for us to act in a helpful way as users of nature?
