Biodiversity and adaptation to climate change [1]

There are various drivers of degradation those are adversely impacting the ecosystems and in turn affecting ecosystem services. Ironically, the growth economy and unsustainable policies are leading to erosion of the very base – biodiversity and ecosystems. Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EBA) is an emerging approach that works with nature to help vulnerable communities build the resilience of their ecosystems and livelihoods that are being threatened by climate change impacts. This approach expects to generate significant multiple benefits social, economic and cultural.
This paper explains WOTR’s proactive ecosystem based adaptation strategy crystallized from the ecosystem management and conservation work carried out in different states.
