    the seal by andra

    The direct consequence of this climate change is the melting of the ice, where the fire is repaired to give birth and to take care of the newborn babies. The seal pups are forced to enter the water prematurely, when they have not yet matured enough fat to protect them from freezing temperatures and often cannot survive.
    Poaching is another major threat to the seals. The seals are unfortunately still hunted for the illegal trade in the skins of puppies.

    koala

    Koalas are threatened by habitat loss, caused by severe deforestation, diseases and heat waves. Usually koalas face high temperatures by hugging trees, in this way they are able to lower their body temperature. koalas risk extinction by 2050. Within a few years we will be able to say goodbye to the koalas forever, to one of the most curious mammals in the animal world, among the symbols of Australia, the main area of ​​the world in which these beings, as graceful as they are living"

    polar bear

    Male polar bears can grow up to 2,50 meters tall. Female polar bears can grow up to 3,40 meters tall. Both species of polar bears can weigh up to 420 or 500 kilograms. The favorite Food of polar bears sin seal.

    Rainforest residents in danger and The problem of The Sea lvl by Moritz

    The rainforest residents are in danger because a lot of water evaporates due to the rising heat, which makes the wood dry which in turn causes the forests to burn.
    This puts the rainforest inhabitants in great danger and thereby also the lives of the people because the trees convert the carbon dioxide that we and the animals exhale into air.
    Then there would be the sea level rising because the Arctic is melting, which leads to tsunamis (floods) and all this just because of these stupid fumes.

    SEA LEVEL

    Sea level rises
    because more and more glaciers
    that's why we need to be careful about the global warming. The earth is warming because we have a lot of co2 (carbon dioxide) produce.

    sharks

    the shark or even called dogfish its name comes from rough there are 500 types of sharks with different sizes usually females are smaller most, sharks live in saltwater others in freshwater. sharks are mostly carnivorous and feed on different types of fish, if the climatic conditions changed, many fish would die as a result of sharks

    dolphins

    Climate change is becoming a threat to them. Since 2011 ocean temperatures have risen by 4 degrees, after this event the scientists observed that the survival rate decreased by 12% and also caused fewer births. They are still in danger today and their survival and reproduction are said to be even lower. Scientists are unable to give reports but only small hipotheses and especially in 2016/2017 with last heat wave many corals died and therefore there is a decrease in food for dolphins.

    Giant panda

    the panda is a mammal belonging to the bear family. Originally from central China, he lives in the mountainous regions of Sichuan.
    The panda is 1.50 m long, weighing from 80 to 200 kg. It can usually live up to 35/40 years.

    Giant pandas live solitary all year round, except for the mating season. Unlike many other bears, they don't hibernate, but always stay active.

    elephant

    Elephant is a species at risk for deforestation and poaching ivory.They are large animals, with relatively small eyes and large mobile ears. They are equipped with two prominent ivory tusks and a proboscis, derived from the fusion of nose and upper lip.
    The elephants are herbivores and nourish mainly of foliage of the trees.

    jobrane helali 8b3 the falcon

    The falcon is one of the most powerful birds in the world that can see kilometers away and can hunt fish, large insects and small birds. A hawk lives alone without groups and builds nests of hard grass and tree branches. The female lays a number of eggs not exceeding three eggs. It has become common to tame the falcon to catch rabbits

    The planet comet b'y amani

    comet is an icy, small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases, a process called outgassing. This produces a visible atmosphere or coma, and sometimes also a tail. These phenomena are due to the effects of solar radiation and the solar wind acting upon the nucleus of the comet. Comet nuclei range from a few hundred meters to tens of kilometers across and are composed of loose collections of ice, dust, and small rocky particles. The coma may be up to 15 times Earth's diameter, while the tail may stretch one astronomical unit. If sufficiently bright, a comet may be seen from Earth without the aid of a telescope and may subtend an arc of 30° (60 Moons) across the sky. Comets have been observed and recorded since ancient times by many cultures.

    /zakaria trabelsi/ woodland caribou

    The boreal woodland caribou is a North American subspecies of the reindeer with the vast majority of animals in Canada.
    They prefer lichen-rich mature forests and mainly live in marshes, bogs, lakes and river regions.
    i am intrested about this animal because in 2002 the caribou was threatened by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada.
    at 2011, Environment Canada reported that there were approximately 34,000 boreal caribou in 51 ranges remaining in canada.
    and that makes the caribou threatened by the climate change and by humans hunting them too.

    Penguins

    if climate change continues at its current rate, Emperor Penguins could virtually disappear by the year 2100 due to loss of Antarctic sea ice.and it will affect penguins through two primary pathways: the quality and availability of food and nesting habitats. Warming seas could reduce the abundance of penguins' prey, resulting in changes in the composition of the birds' diets.

    Green Sea Turtle

    Sea turtles
    for today
    the reason for warming is a sufficient reason to worry.
    Temperature plays a key role in every stage of the sea turtle's life. Gender, buried in the sand
    determined by the incubation temperatures of the eggs. A small increase in temperature means that these sexes
    can turn the ratio very seriously in favor of females. This can reduce the likelihood of reproduction.
    Fresh water, salinity and oceans from melting glaciers
    Acidification will affect marine habitats and biodiversity. These changes
    will result in loss of variety and quantity. In ocean currents of global importance,
    in critical habitats or on sea turtle with changes in prey abundance and distribution. But
    it is highly likely that a severe negative impact will occur.

    SUMATRA ORANGUTAN

    Climate change is putting additional pressure on forests in Indonesia, and the life of orangutans
    endangers. Climate change is much more severe in most of the archipelago.
    It can trigger. This increases the risk of floods and landslides. This heavy precipitation is likely the growth cycle and growth of plants preferred by orangutans.
    There is also the possibility of climate change causing severe drought. Living areas of great apes
    affecting forest fires may increase due to drought. Climate change causes degradation of orangutans' habitats while deforestation
    It is also important to note that increasing carbon dioxide emissions contribute to climate change.

    THE BEE BY ISRAA BOUSLIMI 8th GRADE TUNISIA

    because of global warming a decrease in the winter season which has resulted in an increase in bee activity estimated at 20-30 additional annual working days (during the spring). And this is going to be at the origin of the creation of a stress on the bees who will die later. So either they come back exhausted during the mild winters, or they remain in the hives in the harsh winters without food reserves.
