Local initiatives seek to conserve Făgăraș ecosystems and services through its protection as the proposed Parcul Național Făgăraș, which would be one of the most extensive national parks in continental Europe. Uncontrolled logging poses an immediate threat. At the same time, climate change, caused by carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, motor vehicles, deforestation, and other human sources, threatens ecosystem integrity. Făgăraș forests naturally help prevent climate change by storing carbon. To assist long-term conservation of Făgăraș ecosystems, this climate change assessment presents locally specific scientific information on climate change, ecological impacts, risks, and the magnitude of forest carbon and its ecosystem service. Climate change increased... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3280m791 Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Gonzalez, Patrick Endangerment of Ecosystems by Climate Change Caused by Greenhouse Gases from Human Activities. Comment on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed rule Docket EPA–HQ–OAR–2025–0194. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0g4858bg Published scientific evidence shows that climate change caused by greenhouse gases from human activities endangers natural ecosystems around the world and in the United States, including in U.S. national parks, as shown in the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2022). The scientific evidence shows that the emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities that cause climate change endanger the public health and public welfare of current and future generations. This strongly supports maintaining the endangerment finding of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA 2009). https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0g4858bg Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Gonzalez, Patrick
