Wildfires threaten reptile species found nowhere else on Earth

A new study maps how escalating wildfire risk overlaps with the habitats of endemic reptiles in Mexico's volcanic belt, a biodiversity hotspot. The finding suggests climate-driven fire patterns could push species toward extinction, raising questions for conservation strategy and land management policy in a region already vulnerable to environmental change.
