Climate change impacts wildlife in numerous ways, including:


1. Changes in distribution and migration patterns
2. Disruptions to food sources and nutrient cycles
3. Shifts in breeding and reproduction cycles
4. Increased disease and parasite spread
5. Changes in species interactions and competition
6. Increased risk of extinction
7. Altered hibernation and torpor patterns
8. Sea-level rise and coastal habitat loss
9. Increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events
10. Changes in water availability and quality
11. Loss of genetic diversity
12. Disruptions to pollination and seed dispersal

Climate change affects wildlife populations, behavior, physiology, and ecology, leading to far-reaching consequences for ecosystems and biodiversity.
