Rising temperatures, shrinking habitats: How climate change is reshaping global ecosystems
Author(s): Sumit Kumar Mavi
Abstract: Rising global temperatures are causing climate change, which is drastically changing ecosystems around the world and leading to a loss of biodiversity and habitat. Species that depend on ecosystems like coral reefs, polar regions, tropical forests, and mountain habitats are being driven to extinction, forced to adapt, or displaced as a result of rising temperatures. The science underlying climate change, its effects on ecosystems, and the ripple effects on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human civilization are all examined in this essay. The study looks at how both plant and wildlife are being impacted by climate-induced changes, including habitat degradation, altered migration patterns, and the disruption of food webs. It also emphasizes the fragility of crucial habitats. In response, the study highlights the significance of adaptation strategies like ecological restoration, protected area creation, and community-based conservation initiatives, as well as mitigation strategies like cutting greenhouse gas emissions and putting sustainable land use practices into place. In the end, it emphasizes how urgently concerted international action is required to prevent additional harm, repair ecosystems, and boost resilience in order to guarantee the long-term sustainability of both ecosystems and human well-being.
