Film Lens
This segment discusses the impact of climate change on various animal species, emphasizing the polar bear as a key symbol of this issue. It explains how global warming affects habitats and food sources, using the koala as an example. The increase in carbon dioxide alters the eucalyptus leaves, making them toxic to koalas, which threatens their survival.
The segment also shows how species are adapting to climate change by relocating. On average, species are moving nearly 17 kilometers towards the poles or climbing 11 meters higher every decade in search of cooler habitats. The adaptability of species plays a crucial role in their survival, with predictions indicating that one in three species could face extinction if global warming continues.
