The primary driver of species extinction in a changing climate is habitat loss due to climate change impacts such as rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events. These changes lead to shifts in species distributions, reducing suitable habitats and impairing reproduction and survival. Additionally, climate change exacerbates other threats like pollution and invasive species, further increasing extinction risks. Understanding and addressing these drivers are essential for developing effective conservation strategies to protect vulnerable species and preserve biodiversity in the face of ongoing climate change.
