Wildlife and flora face unprecedented challenges as heatwaves and wildfires reshape ecosystems, threatening biodiversity and human survival.
Wildlife suffers from extreme heat
This summer, heatwaves and wildfires have taken a heavy toll on wildlife and plant life, affecting ecosystems across the globe. Many species are struggling to survive the extreme temperatures and the destruction caused by fires.Biodiversity faces climate change impacts
Evolutionary biologist and CNRS research director Tatiana Giraud highlights that biodiversity is feeling the effects of climate change. Some species are at risk of extinction due to the rapid changes in their environments.Key species are disappearing
Birds, insects, and microorganisms are among the species facing decline. These organisms play crucial roles in maintaining ecological balance, from pollination to soil health, and their loss can have far-reaching consequences.Human survival depends on biodiversity
The disappearance of these species poses a threat not only to ecosystems but also to human survival. Many essential services, such as food production and clean water, rely on the health of these ecosystems.
