Should wildlife conservationists move endangered species to new homes to escape climate hazards like wildfires and floods?

Climate reporter @ethanpfreedman writes about a controversial plan to remake nature in order to save it.

independent.co.uk/climate-change…

Wildfires in the past few years have killed about 15 per cent of the trees in their native range. Image
But the trees aren’t likely to go extinct — because people have planted them all over the world.

Now, some conservationists argue we should be moving even more species, like birds, fish and other plants, to new parts of the world to save them from climate crisis, too.
