Global warming is a major issue of our time, threatening not only our way of life, but also the survival of many animal species. As the 1.5°C warming threshold is about to be crossed in 2024, an alarming study reveals the devastating consequences that this could have for biodiversity.
The effects of global warming are already being felt across the world. Rapid environmental changes are making it increasingly difficult for animals to migrate and adapt, jeopardizing the survival of many species. Amphibians, now considered the most endangered vertebrates, are particularly vulnerable to these changes.
Australia and New Zealand, due to their island nature, are among the countries most exposed to the risk of extinction of animal species. Habitat fragmentation, deforestation and pollution are all factors that contribute to this imminent threat to the biodiversity of these regions.
Urgent action is needed to limit global warming and preserve the diversity of animal species. Scientists are calling for concrete measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect fragile ecosystems and promote sustainable management of natural resources.
Faced with this critical situation, international cooperation and the mobilization of all actors in society are essential. It is our collective responsibility to preserve the richness of biodiversity for future generations. Each of us, at our level, can contribute to the protection of fauna and flora by adopting simple actions and supporting environmental initiatives.
Together, we can reverse the trend and preserve the beauty and diversity of our planet for centuries to come. It is time to act, because every animal species counts and deserves its place in this changing world.
