Climate change is one of the most pressing global issues of our time. It has wide-ranging effects on animal migration, ecosystems, varying species, and the intricate balance of nature. 

As temperatures rise, weather patterns shift, and habitats are increasingly damaged, the natural world around us will continue to undergo significant transformation. One of these changes may be the impact on migration patterns of various animals. 

From butterflies and birds to marine life and large mammals, species that are struggling to adapt to these changes may eventually die out, causing significant ecological issues.

One of the most immediate effects of climate change is the increase in global temperatures. It’s an interesting study because some regions are experiencing more rapid temperature increases than others.
