Rising temperatures and extreme weather events can affect:

the distribution and survival of plant and animal species of habitat

migratory patterns

Awareness and Education

There is the importance of biodiversity and the threats to it and to habitat loss and are exposed to the concept of endangered species

Of the 8,300 animal breeds known, 8% are extinct and 22% are at risk of extinction. Of the over 80,000 tree species, less than 1% have been studied for their potential use
