| Abstract | ||
| In 1992, Egypt signed the Biodiversity Convention and ratified it in 1994. Article 6 of this Convention required the parties to formulate national strategies setting a framework for the conservation of biodiversity. Climate change is already having noticeable impacts on biodiversity. Projected future changes are likely to result in changes in the distribution of species and ecosystems, and overall biodiversity loss. Individual species respond differently, according to their climate tolerances and their ability to disperse into a new location, alter their phonology (e.g. breeding date), or adapt to shifting food sources. This means that it is difficult to predict how communities will change or how current interactions between species will be affected. | ||
