The impact of environmental change on species distribution is significant as it can alter habitat suitability and availability. Factors such as climate change, habitat loss, and pollution contribute to shifting distribution patterns, potentially leading to species migration or extinction. Changes in temperature and precipitation can affect the timing of life events, such as breeding and flowering, which may disrupt ecological relationships and food webs. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective conservation planning, as it helps identify vulnerable species and prioritize areas for protection to preserve biodiversity amid ongoing environmental change.
