About 15,000 land vertebrate species could lose habitat to sea-level rise by 2100
The rate of sea-level rise is now more than 4 millimeters (0.16 inches) per year, having more than doubled since 1993–2002. Scientists estimate that this figure may go up to 10 millimeters (0.39 inches) per year in the near future. The inundation of coastlines and islands will affect human and animal habitats alike.
