The potential impact of climate change is of special concern in arid and semiarid Patagonia, a >700,000 km2 region of steppe-like plains in Argentina. Thus, melting snow and ice in the glaciers of Patagonia and the Andes will alter surface runoff into interior wetlands. A SLR of 20-60 cm will destroy coastal marshes, and an increase in extreme events, such as storms, floods and droughts, will affect biodiversity in wet grasslands  . Three species of lizard from Patagonia are at risk of extinction as a result of global warming .
