<p>Around half of all life on Earth is on the move because of climate change.</p><br><p>That staggering statistic shows just one of the ways climate change is impacting animal species around the world, which is the topic of this week's episode.</p><br><p>In case you're new here: Fear & Wonder is a new climate podcast, brought to you by <a href="https://theconversation.com/au" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Conversation</a>. It takes you inside the United Nations’ era-defining climate report via the hearts and minds of the scientists who wrote it. The show is sponsored by the <a href="https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Climate Council</a>, an independent, evidence-based organisation working on climate science, impacts and solutions.</p><br><p>In this episode, hosts Michael Green and Joelle Gergis speak to Finnish fisherman and IPCC scientist Dr Tero Mustonen about the changes he has observed on the lake ice in his village of Selkie in North Karelia, Finland, and how his community has led a successful rewilding project.</p><br><p>We also speak to Australian marine ecologist Professor Gretta Pecl, whose research has helped map the rapid redistribution of life on Earth. Through her dives off the Tasmanian coast, we learn that plants and animals are moving faster in the ocean than they are on land – with a little help from Nemo.</p><br><p>...</p><br><p>If you liked this episode, you might also like to <a href="https://memberservices.theconversation.com/newsletters/newsletter-tcus.php?region=au&nl=au-science&utm_campaign=AU+/+Science+Wrap" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">subscribe to The Conversation's new Science Wrap newsletter</a>: <a href="https://bit.ly/406nQgk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/406nQgk</a>.
