Asiatic elephants face shrinking habitats and rising human-elephant conflicts as climate change forces them into fragmented corridors. Representative image.

Cold-adapted migratory species, from musk deer in the Himalayas to snow trout in mountain rivers, are being forced into ever-shrinking habitats as global temperatures continue to climb, a new international report has warned.

Released on Friday by the UN Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS), the study draws on the findings of an expert workshop held earlier this year in Edinburgh. It concludes that climate-induced shifts in habitats are now colliding with existing human pressures, leaving vulnerable species with dwindling options for survival.
