NH biologists discuss climate change and wildlife

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire Fish and Game Department biologists are discussing how a changing climate is impacting the state’s fish and wildlife.

The group is addressing questions at a public forum on Tuesday such as why the state’s moose population has taken a 40 percent downturn over the last five years and the impacts of warming winters on moose. Questions about diminishing shrimp in the Gulf of Maine and the effects of climate change on birds also are being addressed.
