U.S. Proposes to Protect Wolverines
By FELICITY BARRINGER
Published: February 1, 2013

The federal Fish and Wildlife Service proposed Friday to give Endangered 
Species Act protections to the wolverine, one of the largest and hardiest 
members of the weasel family, largely because climate change is whittling 
away its wintry habitat in the northern Rockies.

See the link above for the full article text. Although this isn't a plant, 
it's interesting to note that this is one of a "growing group of species 
whose survival is threatened by global warming, rather than traditional 
threats like predators or logging."
