Article 1

Climate change significantly impacts global biodiversity through habitat loss, species migration, and altered ecosystems, leading to an accelerated extinction rate of nearly 1 million species. This loss threatens essential ecosystem services such as pollination, water purification, and climate regulation. Urgent human intervention, including conservation efforts and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, is necessary to mitigate these effects and preserve biodiversity.

The Impact of Climate Change on

Global Biodiversity
Climate change is one of the most significant environmental challenges
facing the planet today. It affects biodiversity in numerous ways, including habitat
loss, species migration, and altered ecosystems. As temperatures rise, many species
are forced to move to cooler areas, often resulting in the disruption of ecosystems
and competition with other species. Additionally, climate change can affect the timing
of biological events such as migration and reproduction, further complicating survival
for various species. The extinction rate is accelerating, with scientists estimating
that nearly 1 million species are at risk. This loss of biodiversity impacts ecosystem
services that humans rely on, such as pollination, water purification, and climate
regulation. Global efforts are being made to mitigate these effects, but time is of
the essence. Human intervention through conservation efforts, sustainable practices,
and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is crucial to preserving biodiversity.
