How does E.O. Wilson's biodiversity work relate to climate change?
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth, and it is inextricably linked to climate stability. Diverse ecosystems are more resilient to environmental changes, including those caused by climate change. Loss of biodiversity weakens these systems, making them less able to absorb carbon, regulate water cycles, and support life. Protecting biodiversity is therefore a critical strategy in mitigating and adapting to climate change.
