Why ecosystem collapses may occur much sooner than expected (phys.org)

an ecosystem predicted to collapse in the 2090s owing to the creeping rise of a single source of stress, such as global temperatures, could, in a worst-case scenario, collapse in the 2030s once we factor in other issues like extreme rainfall, pollution, or a sudden spike in natural resource use.

There is no way to restore collapsed ecosystems within any reasonable timeframe. There are no ecological bailouts. In the financial vernacular, we will just have to take the hit.

While your probably right, technically, i dont think they ever found the bodies, as you would expect with a large die off.

My optimistic side wants to believe they relocated...but I suppose either way, it still means thier environment collapsed.
