African Antelopes Are Taking Root in New Mexico as Climate Pressures Reshape Wildlife Ranges
African antelopes introduced to ranches and game preserves in New Mexico are no longer confined to fenced properties, raising fresh questions about how warming temperatures and shifting landscapes may alter their spread. The development is drawing attention from ecologists who say climate change could make parts of the U.S. Southwest increasingly hospitable to non-native species, with implications for conservation, land management, and native wildlife.
