The impact of climate change on biodiversity challenges and solutions.

INTRODUCTION

It is completely undisputable and unequivocal that human impact has harmed the environment, oceans, seas, and land. A recent report predicts that rapid human-induced influence is changing the occurrence in our climate.

Human influence can already be felt around the globe. Extreme weather changes wildlife across North America and Southern Europe, to extreme flooding in China and Western Europe, dynamic tropical cyclones on the Indian and Atlantic coasts, which portray the real-life consequences of the climate.

CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECT ON BIODIVERSITY

The scientific findings show that continued global warming will affect the climate. It would bring more intense rainfall and flooding in some regions, increase drought, extreme heat, and wildfires. As the increase in temperature will exaggerate the melting of glaciers and ice sheets, with consequences of an increase in sea level heights.

The effect of the modernised world, as with rapid urbanisation, means the coastal cities will continue to see eventual flooding both from the sea level and extreme rainfall. Human-induced climate change is happening faster rate.

Climate change is drastically bringing change in climate conditions, its consequences are not limited to human beings, it effectively forests, land, species, and animals Etc. In having negative consequences on the biodiversity, they are, however, interlinked, as coping with one will help in taking the other one.

Its impacts are immense, in climate change are becoming increasingly clear. Extreme weather events are happening more rapidly, and wildlife is diminishing, but their impacts are scattered as some species are more at risk than others.

Climate change is rapid in the poles, tropical rainforest, and coastal areas than anywhere else in the world. Which is having wide wide-ranging impact on the planet’s health. Rising global temperature, also known as global warming, is a crucial aspect of climate change.

BIODIVERSITY LOSS DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

Biodiversity is a prominent player in a healthy and functioning ecosystem. Insects contribute to food production and also to food security. Forests and plants store a large quantity of CO2 over the long term and purify the air. wetland plays a significant role in filtering and improving water quality.

Biodiversity is on the decline around the globe. This is a grave concern as millions of plant, animal, and insect species are threatened with extinction, and many habitats have been destroyed by human activities of the adverse effects of the climate.

Climate change imbalances the earth’s temperature equilibrium and has an extensive impact on human beings and the environment. There a direct and indirect effects of climate change. During the era of global warming, the temperature of the Earth’s temperature rises due to the increasing accumulation of greenhouse gas, which has a divergent effect on human beings and the environment.

Identifying the mechanism underlying the effects of biodiversity is critical as the rapid loss of species would wide and loss of human wellbeing. In this refined study, the loss of biodiversity is measured in the form of threatened species of amphibians, fish, birds, mammals, plants, and reptiles.

On the surface, the polar ice caps and glaciers are melting, which is causing the sea level to rise which encroaching upon coastal habitat and arctic tundra. The global rainfall pattern is changing; these changes may lead to desertification, which is causing habitats like grassland land slowly turn into desert.

Climate change also affects biodiversity by disturbing the natural cycle and events. Frequent upheavals in the weather cycle can disturb the natural cycle of life. There are often climate breakdowns, which can lead to unpredictable outcomes for the functioning of the entire ecosystem.

SOLUTION FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION:

• Biodiversity encompasses the vast system of life on earth, which includes diversity within species and species of ecosystems. This intricate web of life holds different values and forms the foundation for all life support, which includes human well-being.
• Beyond protection, efforts to restore degraded ecosystems are crucial to bring biodiversity back.
• Reduce greenhouse gases which using energy more efficiently. Changing the usage of energy.
• Create more wildlife corridors and monitor the wildlife. This is crucial for the endangered species that one at risk from climate change.

CONCLUSION

The world’s biodiversity is rapidly changing over time, with dramatic changes in the climate horizon. The most species at risk are those with a limited climate range, like polar bears and Arctic foxes. It is also the case for animals with restricted habitats and small species.

The wildlife population has declined by around 69% since the 1970s. The loss of species not only reduces biodiversity. But it also indicates that the ecosystem is breaking off. There is a risk of global system failure unless immediate action is taken.

The bio-diversification acceptance and prevention await new policy programmes to reinvent and safeguard the biodiversity.
