Study finds severe climate change impact on Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, causing declining wildlife populations, resource competition, and altered migration patterns.

A study involving multiple universities and organizations reveals that the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, which includes Kenya's Maasai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, is severely impacted by climate change. Over the past 60 years, rising temperatures (4.8°C to 5.8°C) and erratic weather patterns have led to declining wildlife populations, increased competition for resources, and altered migration and breeding patterns. These changes threaten local biodiversity and tourism.
