Climate Change's Impact on India's Biodiversity
Climate change is a major threat to India's biodiversity. Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more extreme weather events are all having a negative impact on India's plants and animals.
Questions

- Polar bears
- Coral reefs
- Tropical rainforests
- All of the above.
What is the main cause of coral bleaching?
- Increased water temperature
- Ocean acidification
- Pollution
- Overfishing
How does climate change affect the timing of plant and animal reproduction?
- It causes plants and animals to reproduce earlier in the year.
