Can anyone tell me an animal whose habitat is threatened by environmental and climate changes?

Question

Plz make sure that its habitat is destroyed by the above reason…….plz help

Answer 1

You Asked for a single example. keep in mind that there are thousands of such examples.

The Ganges River Dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica) and Indus River Dolphin (Platanista gangetica minor) are two sub-species of freshwater or river dolphins found in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan

Both subspecies have been very adversely affected by the use by humans of the river systems in the sub-continent. Entanglement in fishing nets can cause significant damage to local population numbers. Some individuals are still taken each year and their oil and meat used as a liniment, as an aphrodisiac and as bait for catfish. Irrigation has lowered water levels throughout both subspecies' ranges. Poisoning of the water supply from industrial and agricultural chemicals may have also contributed to population decline. Perhaps the most significant issue is the building of more than 50 dams along many rivers, causing the segregation of populations and a narrowed gene pool in which dolphins can breed. There are currently three sub-populations of Indus Dolphins considered capable of long-term survival if protected.

Both subspecies are listed by the IUCN as endangered on their Red List of Threatened Species.

Answer 2

The list is endless. I wouldn't even know where to start. Majority of species that are becoming endangered or threatened is due to habitat loss, caused by 1)Environmental: Humans - urban sprawl and logging forests 2)Climate Changes: Bushfires - such as the ones we are experiencing here in victoria at the moment.

Answer 3

It may if the current trend continues, but technology continues to increase production and wil for some time to come, albeit with diminishing returns. I see a bigger problem with distribution-getting the food where it needs to be. This is already a very visible problem in many parts of the world, but if the weather continues to become more extreme and various regions have bad years, it could get more difficult to maintain the variety of foods necessary for a balanced diet and get those foods to the right spots on the map. We could see issues with current agricultural practices-growing massive amounts of grain in an inefficient manner to feed livestock and produce meat inefficiently. Or we might see more localized and private gardens; both could mean less consumption of meat and better food supplies, but the trend until and unless that would happen is toward more consumption of meat rather than less. So there are variables that could keep us going for quite a while. But a few more years of the drought that affected the U.S. last year could cause a lot of problems.

Answer 4

Its not as simple as that. The destruction is not usually completely for one reason but a cascading effect.

Waterbirds in the north of my country (Australia) for instance have not migrated to their nesting grounds as early as usual as the seasons seem to be slipping back later. This means that when they do go and they young hatch their usual feed is running out as other opportunistic animals come along and munch it all up. Less and less birds are surviving and in some parts of my country due to drought many of their nesting habitats are disappearing, with nowhere to nest there are no babies and with no babies wahla! no species.

For your research purposes birds would probably be the best place to look.

Answer 5

birds: Southwestern Willow Flycathcher, Ivory-billed Woodpecker, California Gnatcatcher, Least Bell's Vireo, all endangered, all due to habitat loss.

Answer 6

The Polar bear is losing contact to the shelf ice in North America. Projections predict an almost total disappearance of arctic shelf ice.

Due to warming...

Answer 7

Yes sweetie! Many small animals are in danger, most of them living in mountainous regions and cannot migrate to cooler regions. They are toads and frogs. Polar bear is also doomed unless in the zoo.

Answer 8

Unfortunatly I would have to say birds, because if workers keep cutting down trees in forest, rain forest, or whatever then that means birds and crows would have to move from there to maybe even here!
