Critical Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) methane regulations are making their way back into effect. This is good news for wildlife like bats, mule deer, and cold weather-dependent moose that are negatively impacted by the effects of climate change.
Methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas, having over 80 times the climate altering potential of carbon dioxide over the next two decades. Climate change continues to reshape the environment and animal habitats, so much that it causes habitat ranges to shift or be lost, increasing occurrence of pests and invasive species, decreasing available resources, and speeding the rate of species extinction.
