If we don't do something to slow our carbon emissions, we could lose up to half of all the plant and animal species in the world's forests. A new report by the World Wildlife Federation shows that a temperature increase of more than 1.5 degrees Celcius would decimate the flora and fauna of the vital ecosystems in Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Australia.
