El Nino's Impact on Singapore's Wildlife
WHY IT MATTERS
The impact of extreme El Nino events on Singapore's wildlife could lead to a decline in bird populations, potentially disrupting the ecosystem and affecting the country's biodiversity.
What happened
Singapore's wildlife may face challenges due to increasingly extreme El Nino events. Research suggests that these events could favor pests like mosquitoes while other animals, such as birds, struggle to adapt.
The warmer temperatures and changing climate patterns may push some species to their limits, while human-adapted animals like crows and pigeons may be more resilient.
This shift in the ecosystem could have significant consequences for the country's biodiversity.
