    Climate change is having effects on the birds and butterflies of Sikkim. Some bird species like the Grandala have experienced an upward shift in their altitudinal ranges due to climate change. The Ashy Drongo population may be threatened. Butterfly species distributions are also being impacted, with some like the Yellow Swallowtail and Knight experiencing range changes. While climate change effects are already occurring, protecting habitats and biodiversity is still important to mitigate further impacts.
