The Effects of Climate Change on Wildlife Conservation Approaches

Abstract

Zaka Van*

Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges of our time and its effects are far-reaching, influencing ecosystems, biodiversity and wildlife populations. Rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns and more frequent extreme weather events disrupt the delicate balance of natural habitats and pose significant threats to the survival of many species. Wildlife conservation strategies, which have traditionally focused on protecting habitats, reducing poaching and maintaining biodiversity, are now forced to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change. In this article, we will explore the effects of climate change on wildlife conservation and discuss how conservation strategies are evolving to address these new threats. Climate change affects wildlife in various ways, from altering migration patterns to threatening the availability of food and water. One of the most immediate and significant consequences of climate change is habitat loss. Many species rely on specific environmental conditions-such as temperature, rainfall and vegetation types-to survive.
