    Climate change significantly impacts biodiversity by altering ecosystems, species distributions, and the survival of both plant and animal life. Key ways climate change affects biodiversity include:

    1. Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns can alter or destroy natural habitats. For example, polar ice caps melting reduce habitats for species like polar bears, while coastal habitats are eroded by rising sea levels, affecting marine and bird species.
    2. Changes in Species Distribution: As temperatures rise, many species are forced to migrate to cooler regions, either toward the poles or to higher altitudes. Species unable to move or adapt quickly face extinction. For instance, mountain species may lose habitable areas as the climate warms.
    3. Disruption of Ecosystem Services: Ecosystems provide essential services such as pollination, water purification, and carbon storage. Climate change disrupts these services. For example, changing weather patterns can impact the flowering times of plants, which in turn affects pollinators like bees.
    4. Altered Food Chains: Temperature shifts can affect species’ life cycles, leading to mismatches in food availability. If prey or plant species decline or change their reproductive timing, predator species may struggle to find food.
    5. Increased Extinction Risk: Species that cannot adapt to rapid changes in climate, such as amphibians, corals, and some plants, face a higher risk of extinction. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) predicts that climate change could contribute to the extinction of up to one million species in the coming decades.
    6. Ocean Acidification and Coral Bleaching: As oceans absorb more CO₂, they become more acidic, affecting marine biodiversity. Coral reefs, home to about 25% of marine species, are highly vulnerable to bleaching caused by warmer waters and acidification, leading to declines in marine biodiversity.
    7. Increased Invasive Species and Disease Spread: Warmer climates enable invasive species and pests to expand into new areas, often outcompeting native species. In addition, the spread of diseases, such as those affecting amphibians and marine organisms, is facilitated by changing environmental conditions.
    8. Impact on Migration Patterns: Many species, particularly birds and marine animals, rely on stable climatic conditions to time their migration. Disruptions caused by unpredictable weather patterns can lead to reproductive failure or death.

    Overall, climate change poses a major threat to global biodiversity, with far-reaching consequences for ecosystems, species survival, and human well-being.
