Question
Chapter 58.3, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The design that represents the realistic and the best possible protected area that could be used for the terrestrial biodiversity conservation in the present as well as in future provided that species’ distribution is affected by the global warming.
Introduction:
The global warming is the phenomenon in which the overall increased levels of carbon dioxide results in the increase of temperature of the earth’s surface. The carbon dioxide traps the incoming radiation, which increases the temperature of the land and the water surfaces of the earth. This mechanism of heating is called the greenhouse effect. Change in the climatic conditions affects the distribution of species.

As a member of the community you are living in now and with the remaining diversity of organisms present in your place, identify organisms you think are nearing extinction/endangered or have low diversity. Afterwards, write the reasons or possible reasons for this. And lastly present a plan on how the community can work together in preserving and encouraging more variation in these organisms in the near future.
Discuss the importance of biodiversity in mitigating the impacts of climate change by providing at least 2 examples. These examples must be real or based from research (local/national/international).
Alien species invasion has been a threat to biodiversity. Justify with the help of a suitable example. List any other three causes responsible for such a loss.

This will promote the maximum sustainability for future generations of animals.
