How does climate change affect biodiversity in our area?
¿Cómo afecta el cambio climático en la biodiversidad de nuestra zona?
The 5th and 6th year primary school students wanted to study whether climate change really exists, as they had heard contradictory versions on the same subject. Once they had done their research, they wanted to diagnose the plant and animal species in the municipality that are being seriously affected by the effects of climate change.
Given that the mountain is Mediterranean, they have been investigating the effects of climate change on the
increase in forest fires, drought, torrential rains, hail, tornadoes,…
In addition, they wanted to discuss the effect of climate change on amphibians in the municipality. To this end, they wanted to determine the species present and their possible effects.
One issue of concern was the effect on birds and small mammals: why weren’t the storks leaving? Why was there less fruit and vegetable picking this summer? Why are the bees disappearing?
Not all the questions raised could be answered, but most of them could be answered.
El alumnado internivelar de 5º y 6º de Primaria ha querido estudiar si realmente existe el cambio climático, ya que habían oído versiones contradictorias sobre el mismo tema. Una vez que han investigado sobre ello, han querido diagnosticar en el municipio las especies vegetales y animales que están siendo afectadas de manera grave por los efectos del cambio climático.
Dado que el monte es mediterraneo han estado investigando los efectos del cambio climático en el
incremento de los incendios forestales, sequía, lluvias torrenciales, granizo, tornados,…
Además, quería tratar sobre la afección sobre los anfibios del cambio climático en el municipio. Para ello querían determinar las especies presentes y su posible afección.
Un tema que les preocupaba era la afección sobre las aves y sobre mamíferos pequeños. ¿Por qué no se iban las cigüeñas? ¿Por qué este verano ha habido menos recogida de frutas y hortalizas? ¿Por qué están desapareciendo las abejas?
No se ha podido dar respuesta a todas las preguntas planteadas pero sí a la mayoría.
Climate change is already a reality that is expressed throughout the planet through the rise in average temperatures, the rise in sea level, the melting of ice in the Arctic or the increase OF extreme events. Climate change acquires specific features in different areas of the planet.
Storks and other animals are changing their habitat and the way they hunt, and many of them can die or become extinct.
We can conclude that climate change exists, as a consequence, many species of animals, fauna and flora can disappear, and we can suffer from many problems in the next years, such as severe droughts.
