Thesis Overview

The project titled "The Impact of Climate Change on Endangered Species Distribution and Conservation Strategies" aims to investigate the consequences of climate change on the distribution patterns of endangered species and explore effective conservation strategies in response to these challenges. Climate change is recognized as one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, posing significant threats to biodiversity and ecosystem stability worldwide. Endangered species, already vulnerable due to various factors such as habitat loss, pollution, and human activities, are particularly at risk from the impacts of a changing climate. The research will delve into the existing literature on climate change and its effects on ecosystems, species distribution, and conservation efforts. By conducting a comprehensive review of relevant studies, the project will synthesize the current scientific understanding of how climate change influences the distribution of endangered species, leading to shifts in their habitats and potential extinction risks. This review will also explore the various conservation strategies and management practices that have been proposed or implemented to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on endangered species. Moreover, the project will employ a combination of quantitative analysis, modeling techniques, and field observations to assess the specific impacts of climate change on selected endangered species. By analyzing species distribution data over time and correlating it with climate variables, the research aims to identify patterns of change and predict future trends in species distribution under different climate change scenarios. Additionally, the project will evaluate the effectiveness of existing conservation strategies in protecting endangered species from the effects of climate change and propose innovative approaches to enhance their conservation in a changing climate. Overall, this research overview highlights the critical importance of understanding the interactions between climate change, endangered species distribution, and conservation strategies to inform evidence-based decision-making and policy development. By advancing our knowledge in this field, the project seeks to contribute valuable insights to the conservation and management of endangered species in the face of ongoing climate change challenges.
