Climate change and need of biodiversity conservation: A review

Abstract

Anthropogenic activities have changed the global environment since last few decades. All these changes in environment, adversely affecting the biodiversity, are mainly due to the human activities. The increase in the greenhouse gases is leading to global warming at a faster rate and impacts on biodiversity, ecosystems and humans. This climate change adversely affected the biological resources of the world. Climate change results in the impact on the biodiversity like change in their distribution pattern, migration of species, invasion of invasive species, change in the phonological behaviour like breeding period, migration time etc, increase in the forest fires and pest attacks. This review basically discussed on the importance of biodiversity, the consequences faced by both plants and animals including humans and control measures should be taken for the conservation of biodiversity.
