Adapting To The Future: Nature’s Resilience In A Changing Climate

In the face of climate change, resilience has become a crucial lens through which we view ecosystems, communities, and individuals. Nature has evolved to adapt and recover over millennia, but as global temperatures rise and ecosystems are confronted with unprecedented stresses, resilience is being tested like never before. In this article, we explore how ecosystems like coral reefs and fire-prone forests show resilience to climate change and why safeguarding their adaptability is vital for the future of our planet.
