Project Description

Global Freshwater Biodiversity: The variety of life found in Earth’s freshwater ecosystems, including rivers, lakes, and wetlands. It encompasses diverse species of plants, animals, and microorganisms adapted to freshwater environments.

Connection to Climate Change: Climate change impacts global freshwater biodiversity by altering water temperatures, flow patterns, and water quality. These changes can disrupt aquatic ecosystems, affect the distribution of species, and lead to shifts in biodiversity. Conserving freshwater biodiversity is essential for maintaining ecosystem health, water quality, and human well-being in a changing climate.
