Dr Joel Jose - Impacts on forests and natural ecosystems

okay hello Learners today we are going to discuss the impact of climate change on Forest and natural ecosystem Forest are the Cornerstone of Earth biodiversity this provides habitat for countless species regulating the climate and supporting human livelihood the ecosystems are under increasing threat from climate change one significant consequence of climate change is loss of

biodiversity as the temperature increases many species are forced to migrate to higher latitudes or elevations in search of suitable habitats this affects pollination and seed dispersal to Predator prey Dynamics and also disrupts the delicate balance of ecosystem climate change is also altering vegetation patterns in Forest the shifting precipitation patterns causes changes in the distribution of plant

species the most visible impact of climate change are the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as wildfires droughts hurricanes and floods the mitigation efforts such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions protecting and restoring Forest are are essential for addressing the root cause of climate change and reducing its impact on ecosystem adaptation strategies such as

establishing protected areas restoring degraded habitats and promoting ecosystem based approaches help ecosystem to become more resilient we must commit ourself to ous targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions transitioning to renewable energy sources and preserving our precious natural habitats the future generation should invest in Innovative Technologies and sustainable practices that enable us to adapt to the changes in climate while

safeguarding the Integrity of our ecosystem let us choose to be guardians of a planet custodians of its forest and natural ecosystem and champions of a future where Harmony between humanity and nature is not just a dream but a reality let us turn the tide of climate change and secure a sustainable future for ourself and for all the living
