Biodiversity loss and climate change
What you need to know
Biodiversity loss and climate change are two of the most pressing issues facing our planet today.
As temperatures continue to rise, species extinction rates accelerate, and ecosystems become more fragile.
While these challenges may seem overwhelming, there are steps we can take to help protect biodiversity and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
First off, it is important to understand how biodiversity loss affects us all on a global scale.
Biodiversity is essential for sustaining healthy ecosystems that provide food security as well as clean air and water sources for humans around the world — and when this diversity decreases due to human activities or natural disasters like deforestation or drought conditions brought on by climate change then entire communities suffer from decreased resources or even displacement in some cases.
On top of this direct impact on people’s lives, many species also play an integral role in regulating our environment; their presence helps keep carbon dioxide levels low while providing habitats for other organisms necessary for maintaining balance within an ecosystem — so when they disappear it has far-reaching consequences beyond just one community’s access to resources but rather puts…
