  How Climate Change is Pushing India’s Endangered Animals to the Brink Climate change is no longer a distant threat—it is happening now, and its effects are becoming increasingly evident in India’s diverse ecosystems. From the soaring Himalayas to the dense Western Ghats, rising temperatures, erratic weather patterns, and habitat degradation are driving many endangered species closer to extinction. India, home to a rich biodiversity and numerous endemic species, is witnessing alarming changes that threaten its fragile wildlife. 1.

This isn't just another weather event – it's a dramatic departure from the region's historical climate patterns. Even...
