Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Climate change poses a significant threat to global biodiversity, particularly in key biodiversity hotspots around the world. This thesis aims to assess the impact of climate change on biodiversity hotspots and propose effective conservation strategies to mitigate these effects. The study will focus on understanding the specific challenges faced by biodiversity hotspots, analyzing the current trends in climate change affecting these areas, and evaluating the effectiveness of existing conservation efforts. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, including the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of key terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review covering ten key aspects related to climate change impacts on biodiversity hotspots and conservation strategies. The review will explore current research findings, debates, and gaps in the existing literature to provide a solid foundation for the study. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations. The chapter will also detail the selection of study sites and the rationale behind the chosen methodology. Chapter Four delves into the discussion of findings, presenting the results of the data analysis and their implications for understanding the impact of climate change on biodiversity hotspots. This chapter will also evaluate the effectiveness of various conservation strategies and propose new approaches to enhance conservation efforts in the face of climate change. Finally, Chapter Five offers a conclusion and summary of the thesis, highlighting the key findings, implications, and recommendations for future research and conservation practices. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on climate change impacts on biodiversity hotspots and provides valuable insights for policymakers, conservationists, and researchers working to protect global biodiversity in the face of a changing climate.
