Rising temperatures disrupt nesting sites, affecting egg incubation. Extreme weather events can lead to habitat destruction, reducing prey availability for Komodo Dragons.
Climate change alters the behavior of prey species, impacting the food chain for Komodo Dragons. Changes in rainfall patterns can also affect vegetation and prey availability.
As sea levels rise, saltwater intrusion threatens freshwater sources on Komodo Island. This impacts the ecosystem and the prey species of these iconic reptiles.
Warmer temperatures can influence the sex ratio of Komodo Dragon hatchlings, potentially skewing it towards one gender. This imbalance can impact population dynamics in the long term.
Conservation efforts are crucial to mitigate the effects of climate change on Komodo Dragons. Research and monitoring help understand and address the challenges faced by these unique reptiles.
By raising awareness and implementing sustainable practices, we can protect the habitats of Komodo Dragons and ensure their survival in the face of climate change.
