The accelerating pace of environmental changes due to human activities is significantly affecting global biodiversity. From climate change and deforestation to pollution and habitat fragmentation, these environmental stressors have created substantial threats to ecosystems worldwide. This paper explores the multifaceted impacts of environmental changes on biodiversity, with a particular focus on the various species and ecosystems most vulnerable to these shifts. By analyzing case studies from different biogeographical regions, the paper assesses how global warming, loss of habitat, and altered ecosystem services influence biodiversity at local, national, and global levels. Furthermore, the paper investigates the role of conservation strategies in mitigating the detrimental effects of environmental changes on biodiversity and proposes innovative approaches to ensure the long-term sustainability of ecosystems. The findings underscore the urgent need for coordinated global efforts and policy interventions to preserve biodiversity amidst rapid environmental changes.
