Climate change is one of the most profound environmental challenges of the 21st century, influencing every aspect of life on Earth. For wildlife, the effects of rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns and more frequent extreme weather events are catastrophic. These environmental shifts threaten biodiversity and place considerable strain on wildlife conservation efforts. In this article, we will explore how climate change impacts wildlife conservation initiatives, the adaptive strategies that are being developed and the role of policy and community engagement in addressing these challenges. Before diving into how conservation efforts are being shaped, it is important to understand the specific impacts of climate change on wildlife populations and ecosystems. Climate change disrupts natural habitats, shifts ecosystems and forces many species to either adapt, migrate, or face extinction.
