Rhinos can’t sweat, making them vulnerable to overheating: global warming could wipe them out in southern Africa

"Southern Africa is home to 22,137 of the world’s 23,432 white and black
African rhinos. But they’re facing grave threats because of a warming planet.
Now, the first study of how climate change affects rhinos in southern Africa
has found that they will cease to exist in the region’s national parks by 2085
if the world takes the worst-case scenario climate change pathway. Timothy
Randhir, who has been an ecological economist for 47 years, explains what
governments and parks can do to prevent this from happening."
