Biodiversity and Food
Biodiversity is essential for feeding human beings and animals. As a result, if climate change impacts on certain geographical areas, it also affects the people, animals and plants that live there. The effects of these changes vary a great deal from one area to another. While drought is affecting Lake Chad, rising water and salt levels are a problem in the Tuvalu Islands. Elsewhere, flora and fauna are seeing their habitats destroyed and the people in developing countries are suffering badly from the consequences of climate change.
