Assuming that global warming, extreme weather conditions and the penetration of invasive species will continue, we assume that in the next decade, the population of certain invertebrate species (e.g. butterflies) and fish species might be significantly endangered (or extinct) in Slovakia. Increased endangerment of alpine ecosystems (e.g. spruce forests) and species dependent on them is anticipated. An acute endangerment in the balance of wetland ecosystems is anticipated as well. An apparent increase in biodiversity caused by the penetration of new species to central Europe from the south will last only until this new phenomena starts to manifest itself.
