Climate change is putting increased pressures on animals and plants, as our fast-changing and modified landscapes make it harder for organisms to naturally adapt.
Many species are suited to specific climates and temperature ranges, such as alpine regions, and are not able to move into other habitat areas.
An increase in habitat loss, invasive pests and weeds, and reduced resources like water and food are causing a great biodiversity loss.
