Much of California has a climate that is considered Mediterranean―cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers. Five Mediterranean-climate regions occur around the world―California, central Chile, Southwest Africa, Southwest Australia, and the Mediterranean proper―and all of them are notable for being extraordinarily rich in plant species, most of which are entirely restricted to their particular ecoregion. Indeed, taken together the five Mediterranean-climate ecoregions cover only 2% of the Earth’s land surface, but contain 20% of its flora.

Much good conservation work has gone into identifying corridors of natural habitats winding across landscapes to higher, cooler latitudes that, if protected, will help species move to new regions with more favourable conditions as climates change. If these corridors are adequately protected, a few wide-ranging species will benefit and a respectable amount of good wildlands will have been protected. We all should support these efforts for these reasons alone.

Climate change includes any significant change in different variables of climate lasting for a wide period of time. It is one of the greatest environmental, social and economic challenges of the present time. It has a great impact on rainfall intensity, temperatures, bushfire frequency, sea level rise, health, biodiversity and heritage or even impact energy supply for the present and future generations.

Though climate change is widely debated, many organizations have come to realise and recognise the damage which human actions have had upon the planet. For sceptics who disagree about the extent to which we are damaging the environment, this incredibly high profile issue may be viewed as a profitable business opportunity, because incorporating a green focus into the overall business strategy, can be viewed as a good tactic to get ahead of the competition and become more profitable and environmentally responsible at the same time.
