Question

Here are two photographs showing animals in their habitats. Compare them and say how the climate crisis affects wildlife. You have one minute to do this.

Answer

  • The first photograph depicts penguins in their icy habitat, while the second one shows sea turtles in a marine environment. The climate crisis affects wildlife in various ways.
  • For penguins, rising temperatures lead to melting sea ice, reducing their habitat for hunting and nesting. This affects their ability to find food and raises concerns about their survival.
  • Sea turtles face threats such as habitat loss due to coastal development and rising sea levels, which can inundate nesting beaches. Additionally, warming ocean temperatures impact sea turtle populations by affecting their reproductive success and the distribution of their prey species.
  • Overall, the climate crisis disrupts the delicate balance of ecosystems, threatening the survival of species like penguins and sea turtles that rely on specific habitats and environmental conditions for their existence.
