Climate Change and Its Impact on Conservation

Climate change poses a significant threat to conservation efforts worldwide. Rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events can disrupt ecosystems and threaten species survival. Conservation strategies must adapt to these changes to remain effective.

Adapting Conservation Strategies

Conservationists are increasingly focusing on climate resilience, which involves protecting ecosystems that can withstand climate impacts. This includes preserving genetic diversity and restoring habitats that can adapt to changing conditions. Collaborative efforts across borders are essential to address the global nature of climate change.
