In the midst of widespread global climate change, Earth's biodiversity faces multiple synergistic threats. Climate change, habitat loss, pollution, over extraction, and invasive species threaten all species on Earth including our own. The tools of Ecology can help to understand these threats. Advances in science and modeling enable us to make predictions about future climate and ecosystem conditions, but these predictions have their limitations. Focusing solely on climate models and predictions of future scenarios and biodiversity loss can lead to feelings of hopelessness and desperation. To w
