The climate can have a lot of impact on biodiversity of a region. The flora and the fauna of a particular region accustom themselves to a particular climate over a period of time. If there are considerable changes in the climate, it could lead to adverse effects. |
For example, in regions where there is less rainfall, there are fewer species of plants and animals. Hence, the biodiversity in these areas should also be given a lot of priority as with loss of each species, there is a higher percentage of loss of the region’s biodiversity.
The impact of climate change on biodiversity is being felt throughout the world; even in arid regions where the biodiversity is very delicate. In all these regions, local people have realized the importance of biodiversity. Hence, thy have devised several ways of limiting their impact. Some regions have been subjected to changes in climate. For example, the melting of glaciers in the Antarctic region has destroyed the habitat of polar bars and many other species such as penguins. Deforestation is driving many wild animals into urban areas. Changes in the climate also affect the productivity of plants and animals and these changes have also been affected by conflicts.
Hence, we need to build up a broader group and make people aware of the how positively or adversely the climatic changes can affect the environment. We have to limit the amount of pollutants in nature as this can lead to adverse changes in climate. For example, the high levels of carbon dioxide in the air due to emissions have led to a considerable rise in the climatic temperature since the last ten years.
