Studies suggest that the increase in tropical cyclone frequency and intensity due to climate change could devastate seabird colonies. Researchers fear warmer weather is leading to fewer male hatchlings of sea turtles, with observations of fewer males being hatched due to climate change and prolonged hot and dry spells caused by El Niño.
Observers at the Chagar Hutang Turtle Sanctuary on Redang Island believe they are already seeing fewer males being hatched due to climate change – with the situation made worse this year by prolonged hot and dry spells caused by El Niño. https://t.co/Ydc3PxKdLR
