how climate change floods affect tiger
0:04
Cults climate change is reshaping our
0:07
world in countless ways and its effects
0:10
are felt not just by humans but by
0:13
Wildlife as well today we're focusing on
0:17
a particularly vulnerable group tiger
0:20
cubs and how they're impacted by climate
0:23
change related
0:25
flooding as our planet warms weather
0:29
patterns are becoming more
0:31
extreme this includes an increase in
0:35
heavy rainfall events in many parts of
0:37
the world particularly in tropical and
0:41
subtropical regions where tigers live
0:45
these intense rains combined with other
0:48
factors like deforestation and changes
0:50
in land use are leading to more frequent
0:53
and severe flooding in Tiger
0:56
habitats tiger cubs are especially
1:00
vulnerable to these environmental
1:02
changes in their first few months of
1:05
Life they're completely dependent on
1:07
their mothers and are not yet strong
1:10
swimmers this makes them particularly
1:13
susceptible to the dangers posed by
1:16
sudden and severe
1:18
floods the impacts of flooding on tiger
1:21
cubs are both direct and
1:24
indirect directly Cubs can be separated
1:28
from their mothers during flooding
1:29
events leaving them without protection
1:32
and unable to fend for
1:35
themselves in extreme cases Cubs may
1:38
even drown if flood waters rise too
1:41
quickly indirectly flooding can have
1:44
longlasting effects on the Cub's habitat
1:47
and food
1:49
sources floods can destroy the
1:52
vegetation that prey animals rely on
1:54
leading to a decrease in the
1:56
availability of food for
1:58
Tigers the this can result in
2:01
malnutrition for nursing mothers
2:03
affecting their ability to produce milk
2:05
for their
2:07
cups moreover flooding can force Tigers
2:10
to move into new areas potentially
2:13
bringing them into conflict with human
2:16
populations this increases the risk of
2:19
poaching and retaliatory killings
2:22
further threatening the survival of Cubs
2:25
and the tiger population as a whole the
2:28
broader implications of these impacts
2:31
are
2:32
significant tigers are already an
2:34
endangered species with only a few
2:37
thousand left in the
2:39
wild every Cub lost to flooding or its
2:42
After Effects represents a blow to
2:45
conservation efforts and the long-term
2:48
viability of tiger
2:50
populations climate change related
2:53
flooding is just one of many challenges
2:56
facing tiger
2:58
conservation it underscores the complex
3:02
interconnected nature of environmental
3:05
issues and the need for comprehensive
3:07
approaches to Wildlife
3:09
protection as we work to address climate
3:12
change on a global scale it's crucial
3:15
that we also focus on specific localized
3:18
efforts to protect vulnerable species
3:21
like tiger
3:22
cups their survival is intricately
3:26
linked to the health of our planet
3:28
serving as a power powerful reminder of
3:31
the far-reaching impacts of climate
3:34
change and the urgent need for action
