Climate change has affected the global diversity of our planet to extreme extents. The potential long-term impacts of climate change on global biodiversity are given below.

1. Global warming – Global warming is one of the most responsible effect of climate change. Global warming refers to rise in the global temperatures which leads to loss of habitat on land and sea and hence affecting the biodiversity of our planet.
2. Frequent changes in the weather patterns – Animals often depend on the kind of weather patterns for taking important decisions like the migrating season, reproduction season etc. Due to climate change affecting the weather patterns it causes biological events to fall out of sync and in the long run can disrupt the functioning of the entire ecosystems.
3. Decline in wildlife and extinction of species – Climate change affects the natural habitat of many animals thereby causing extinction of those species in the longer run.

Conservation of our biodiversity can be done by the following methods.

1. Reducing greenhouse gases by using energy more efficiently and using more renewable sources.
2. Restoring damaged ecosystems, protecting more wild spaces, and promoting environmental justice.
3. Creating more wildlife corridors and protected green spaces.
4. Funding research and monitoring of wildlife.
