Climate change, driven largely by human activities such as the burning of
fossil fuels and deforestation, is having profound effects on biodiversity worldwide. Rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events are disrupting ecosystems and causing changes in the distribution and behavior of species. For example, many species are experiencing changes in migration patterns and reproductive cycles, while others are facing increased risk of extinction due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Additionally, ocean acidification and warming are threatening marine biodiversity, including coral reefs and fisheries. Addressing climate change and mitigating its impacts are essential for protecting biodiversity and ensuring the long- term health of ecosystems.
