Parks Australi Responding To Climate Change

1016 Words5 Pages

The Government of South Australia, Department of Environment, Water and Natural Recourses is working with Parks and IUCN World Parks Congress to create changes and strategies in hope to eliminate and subside climate change. By trying to help ecosystems adapt and respond to climate change we can also explore new knowledge and tools for adaption and decision making to help provide upcoming generations with not only skills, but a future. IUCN World Parks Congress- Responding to Climate Change (2014) Parks Australia is developing and implementing five objectives, Understanding the implications of climate change, implement adaption measures to maximise resilience of reserves, reducing our carbon footprint, working with communities, industries and …show more content…

As a community, we gain a better understanding of our ecological factors, we can develop equip management resources to climate change. Government of South Australia, Department of Environment, Water and Natural Recourses, (2017) Through these objectives, we began to start creating and using well designed monitoring programs which detect changes in our environment and create management responses to help overcome these obstacles.

Much of our effort is placed in the reduction of impacts that range from different sources like rising temperatures, drought and increase of fire, to enable ecological and evolutionary processes to continue to be viable in our environment as the intense pressure of climate change can be of great impact in such a short space of time. Government of South Australia, Department of Environment, Water and Natural Recourses, (2017) By Reducing the threats to biodiversity, we can help build resilience in our natural environment especially if those are at likely risk to climate change and create adaption measures to maximise resilience of reserves. Parks Australia- Climate Change Strategic Overview 2009-2014, (2009) Through working with neighbours and stakeholders to manage and protect areas, helps to maximise a broader affect due to the more people that are helping to manage the ever-growing parks throughout South Australia and the Nation. These objectives help to assist with the natural adaption of species and ecosystem through reserve management as we are trying to preserve our natural state.

    People may know about climate change and the drastic changes it is having on the environment, but what they may not be aware of is that another degree increase in the world’s average temperature will cause even bigger problems for people all over. Climate change is long term shifts in temperature and patterns in the weather. Greenhouse gasses, gasses that trap heat in the atmosphere causing it to warm up are at an all-time high due to humans and the amount of fossil fuels we use. The most crucial result of climate change is global health, but animal endangerment and the rise in sea levels are also very important effects.

    Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales covers 6,900 square kilometres of land. It contains Mount Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest peak, for which it was named after, and Cabramurra, the highest town in Australia. Climate change poses one of the greatest potential threats to Kosciuszko National Park. In the Australian Alps, Bureau of Meteorology records suggest there has been a warming of the climate over the past decade of between 0.1 and 0.15°C. The CSIRO has modelled mountain-related climate change situations (CSIRO 2003) suggesting a decrease in snow cover in the area (of at least 30 days a year) by 14-54 per cent by 2020 and by 30-93 per cent by 2050.

First, the text states earth’s rising “temperatures are fueling longer and hotter heat waves, more frequent droughts, heavier rainfall, and more powerful hurricanes”, which is not good news for us living here on planet earth. And it doesn’t stop there-there are also the effects of global warming creating even more “intense allergy seasons”, and the frequent sea level rise happening around the world.obviously these problems are not convenient for us we shouldn’t ignore this any more change must come. Other major examples found on a website called livescience.com it states “heavier flooding and precipitation” will come in result of global warming, and over the last 100 years the global temp has gone up .4 degrees celsius.

    Climate change is an irreversible consequence of the damage we do to our Earth. If we do not change our ways, the global temperature will swell, causing an unchangeable series of events, consecrating detriments onto all the existence upon Earth. In only about 140 years, the average global temperature has increased 0.8 degrees celsius, and the ramification is the irreparable destruction of the place where we and millions of other species live. The most important consequence of climate change is the global increase in temperature and how that is affecting various animal species all over the Earth, the health of humans, and the rapid rise of sea level.

    Climate change is an issue that is relevant in today 's world. There is a vast amount of evidence suggesting that climate change is real, and could potentially have a drastic impact on our planet if the necessary measures aren’t taken to stop and reverse its effects. Human decisions have led to global warming, and those choices are what will potentially harm not only us, but also our planet. One evidence for global warming can be seen in the significant change in the record of high and low temperatures on this planet “The number of record high temperatures have been increasing and the record of low temperatures have been decreasing since the 1950”(NASA). Regions that are already vulnerable to extreme temperatures can be further affected by a downward
