Climate change is changing the way plants and animals are spread around the world. Here are some key points to understand:

1. Where Animals and Plants Live:

   • As climate zones change, animals and plants are moving to cooler areas, about 1.5 kilometers each decade.
   • If temperatures go up more than 2 degrees Celsius, around 25% of land animals and plants could disappear by the year 2050.

2. Changes in Ecosystems:

   • Coral reefs, which are important underwater ecosystems, have become 30% damaged since 1970. This damage is often caused by rising sea temperatures.
   • Wildfires are happening more often, which can change forests. Currently, about 50% of forests around the world are in danger.

3. Loss of Different Species:

   • As many as 1 million species may be at risk of dying out because they are losing their homes, and because of the pressure from climate change.

Understanding these changes helps us see how serious climate change is for our planet.
