Project Abstract

Abstract
Climate change is a significant global challenge that poses a threat to biodiversity and ecosystems worldwide. Wildlife populations are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, as shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events can disrupt their habitats and food sources. This research project aims to investigate the effects of climate change on wildlife population dynamics, focusing on how these changes are influencing species survival, distribution, and abundance. The study begins with a comprehensive review of the existing literature on climate change impacts on wildlife populations. This literature review examines various case studies and research findings related to the effects of climate change on different species, highlighting the diverse responses observed in terms of population dynamics. Factors such as habitat loss, altered migration patterns, changes in reproductive success, and interactions with other species are explored to provide a holistic understanding of the complex relationships between climate change and wildlife populations. The research methodology involves a combination of field surveys, data analysis, and modeling techniques to assess the current status and trends of selected wildlife populations in the study area. Population surveys will be conducted to collect baseline data on species distribution, abundance, and habitat preferences, while statistical analyses and spatial modeling will be used to identify correlations between climate variables and population dynamics. Additionally, interviews with local communities and stakeholders will provide valuable insights into human-wildlife interactions and perceptions of climate change impacts. The findings from this research project are expected to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the effects of climate change on wildlife populations. By elucidating the mechanisms through which climate change influences species dynamics, this study aims to inform conservation strategies and management practices aimed at mitigating the negative impacts of climate change on wildlife. The results will also have implications for policy-making and resource allocation, highlighting the urgent need for adaptive management approaches to ensure the long-term sustainability of wildlife populations in the face of ongoing climate change. In conclusion, this research project underscores the importance of understanding and addressing the effects of climate change on wildlife population dynamics. By integrating ecological, social, and management perspectives, the study seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities associated with climate change adaptation for wildlife conservation. Ultimately, the findings of this research will contribute to the development of evidence-based strategies for promoting the resilience and survival of wildlife populations in a changing climate.
