Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity
Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity of Gilgit Baltistan
Climate is not a stationary phenomenon, it varies from time to time. It is a product of weather which always experiences variations over space and time. Climate change is resulting from a growing concentration of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and uses of fossil fuels and other anthropogenic activities has become a major worldwide concern. Anthropogenic activities affect the atmosphere and climate in the course of air pollution of greenhouse gases and aerosol, particulate matter, and through land changing. Anthropogenic emissions of GHFs like CO2, CH4, (CFCs) and nitrous oxide have has led to increases in their atmospheric concentration and cause warming of the lower atmosphere
The Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) of Pakistan formerly known as Northern Areas (NA) of Pakistan has a unique and vital role in sustainable development of Pakistan.
Nature has gifted this area with high mountainous ranges, massive glaciers, glorious rivers and splendid valleys. Gilgit-Baltistan serves as a major water catchment for the Indus River Basin (IRB) upon which majority part of Pakistan depends for hydroelectrically and for irrigation proposes.
Gilgit-Baltistan is rich for biological diversity.
The high mountains are behaving like resistance to the monsoon rains to reach in GB. That’s why most of the places in GB receive less rainfall and are fall cold desert.
Climate changes and its impact on biodiversity is currently an important issue of whole world. In Gilgit-Baltistan, some NGOs like World Wild Fund (WWF) has been struggling to protect and conserve biological resources of the GB, and are wishing to implement the adaptation and mitigation strategies for the Gilgit-Baltistan. Like other mountainous area of the world, climate changing is also taking place in Mountainous areas of Pakistan such as in Gilgit-Baltistan.
Climate change is posing serious threats to the fragile ecosystems and poor communities. All most all the
