Abstract
Climate change poses an unprecedented threat to biodiversity, particularly in tropical ecosystems where the majority of Earth's species reside. This study aims to evaluate the consequences of rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns on these ecosystems. Employing a combination of remote sensing data and field observations, this research focuses on the biodiversity within three distinct tropical regions. The methodology includes modeling species distribution under various climate scenarios and analyzing changes in habitat suitability. Findings indicate a significant reduction in biodiversity hotspots, with many species facing heightened risks of extinction. The results underscore the urgent need for conservation strategies that incorporate climate projections to effectively preserve biodiversity. In conclusion, this research highlights the necessity for global collaborative efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change on biological diversity, particularly in vulnerable tropical regions.
