User:JulianNam912/Climate change in Japan
As the climate change is affecting Japan, the ecosystem in Japan is in a major danger. Some of the major impacts from the climate change on the ecosystem are the changes of air and water quality. Although there have not been extreme ecosystem crashes in Japan, it is required for the government to watch out for any kinds of outbreaks in Japan's ecosystem. As the climate change heavily affects the weather patterns in Japan, people in Japan will most likely experience severe weather conditions such as storms, floods, and droughts. According to WWF Climate Change report, it is shown that the habitat of mosquitoes is dramatically increasing in Japan, which could result in an increase of diseases. Hokkaido, northern island in Japan, is the home of hundreds of animals as its northern part is as cold as artic and the southern part of Hokkaido has forests with warmer temperature all year around. In fact, over 20 percent of mammals, fishes, and vascular plants are already facing the reality of extinction due to the climate change. On top of the extinction of mammals, fishes, and plants, reptiles and bird species are facing extinction as well.

If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
