The impacts of climate change on biodiversity are now well known: development of a species at the expense of another; lengthening or shortening life cycles of fauna and flora; migration of species; extinction... But conversely, changes in biodiversity across ecosystems and landscapes should also affect the local and global climate. Biodiversity can thus reduce the impact of climate change on condition of adopting appropriate strategies (management of habitats of endangered species, establishment of shelters and protected area networks ...).
