The conservation status of species is determined based on their population size, habitat range, and threats.
The category of extinct species refers to those that no longer exist, and climate change can lead to their extinction by altering their habitat.
The category of endangered species includes those that are at high risk of becoming extinct due to climate change and other threats.
Threatened species are likely to become endangered in the near future, with climate change exacerbating existing threats.
Vulnerable species are at risk of becoming threatened or endangered due to climate change's impact on their habitat and adaptability.
Near-threatened species are close to being vulnerable, and climate change can push them into the vulnerable category.
Least concern species are not currently at risk of extinction, but climate change can impact them by altering their habitat and food sources.
Climate change is a significant threat to biodiversity and can have a direct impact on the conservation status of species.
Conservation strategies such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, protecting and restoring habitats, and implementing adaptive management practices can help address the impact of climate change on species conservation.
International efforts such as the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Paris Agreement aim to address the impact of climate change on biodiversity and species conservation.
Understanding the categories of species status and their link to climate change is essential in addressing the threat of extinction to biodiversity.
