Today, the Earth's biodiversity is being undermined above all by factors other than climate change, such as deforestation, disappearance of natural habitats, use of pesticides and various forms of pollution. However, climate change will largely contribute to the disappearance of species in the coming decades.
2Causes
2Consequences
Vectors of disease are just one part of biodiversity. They will move like the rest.
Bees and worms are indispensable to agriculture.
4Other possible causes
The poor polar bear is a powerful symbol of the climat. If players make this connection, suggest they draw a bear!
Humans occupy almost all available space on Earth, leaving no room for animals and plants. This entails the disappearance of natural habitats and it is the main cause of biodiversity loss today, well ahead of climate change.
This is a more minor link, except for specific biodiversity-rich areas.
Here, we are thinking mainly of pesticides (especially Roundup or neonicotinoids). No link with the climate, but an interesting relation to make.
1Wrong consequence
It would be more logical to link to agricultural yields.
