Climate change continues to hit faunal biodiversity, leading to glaring changes in habitat and hastening up the generally long drawn process of extinction of species. Dr George Schaller, a pioneer in the field of biology conservation, said climate change was affecting the wildlife and habitat of various species. Dr Asad R Rahmani, a senior scientific adviser of Bombay Natural History Society, the oldest NGO working for wildlife conservation, said while extinction and evolution of faunal biodiversity was a natural process, climate change had hastened up the extinction process which was a matter of concern.
