Forest and Climate change Impact
Forests are like giant homes for many plants and animals. They provide food, shelter, and protection from the elements. But climate change is making these homes less and less welcoming. Rising temperatures are drying out trees and making them more vulnerable to wildfires. This means less food and shelter for the animals that call these forests home. Some forests are even disappearing altogether!
