Abstract

Climate change poses significant threats to biodiversity, particularly in Arctic regions where temperature rise is most pronounced. This study aims to assess the impacts of climate change on Arctic biodiversity and the resulting effects on local ecosystems. Utilizing a combination of remote sensing data and on-ground surveys, we analyzed trends in species distribution and ecosystem health over the past three decades. Our findings indicate a marked shift in species distribution, with many native species migrating northward, leading to changes in ecosystem dynamics. The decline in traditional Arctic species has had cascading effects, disrupting food webs and reducing ecosystem resilience. The study underscores the urgency of implementing conservation strategies tailored to protect vulnerable species and maintain ecosystem stability. These findings contribute to a growing body of knowledge essential for developing policies to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on fragile ecosystems globally. Our research highlights the need for collaborative international efforts to address the environmental challenges posed by climate change.
