Biodiversity and Climate Change Biodiversity is the variety of all living organisms on Earth, from plants and animals to microorganisms. It is an essential part of our planet’s natural systems and provides numerous benefits such as food, medicine, and ecosystem services like pollination and soil health. However, biodiversity is under threat from various human activities, including climate change.
A fundamental goal of conservation is to prevent species from becoming extinct, be it regional or global. But how do we define a species’ risk of extinction? A species can be described as Critically Endangered if the probability of extinction in 10 years or three generations is considered to be more than 50%; endangered if there is more than a 20% chance of extinction in 20 years or five generations;
