Biodiversity loss is primarily driven by various factors that negatively impact ecosystems and the organisms that inhabit them. In this context, climate stability is a condition that promotes biodiversity rather than detracting from it. Stable climates provide predictable environmental conditions that allow a variety of species to thrive and adapt over time. Conversely, habitat destruction, overharvesting, and invasive species disrupt ecosystems, lead to habitat loss, and can outcompete or eliminate native species, all of which contribute to a decline in biodiversity. Thus, a stable climate would support, rather than hinder, the preservation of biodiversity.
