18.Predicting Climate Change Impact on Biodiversity (SDG 13)
11️⃣Problem Definition
Climate change is affecting biodiversity, leading to species loss and habitat destruction.
Goal: Predict how temperature rise, deforestation, and pollution will impact biodiversity hotspots.
2️⃣Data Collection
NASA Climate Data (temperature, CO₂ levels)
WWF Wildlife Tracking (species movement patterns)
Satellite Images (deforestation, ocean pollution)
3️⃣Data Cleaning & Preprocessing
Handle missing data using interpolation.
Convert satellite images into structured data using computer vision (CNNs).
Normalize climate and biodiversity datasets for comparison.
4️⃣Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
Identify correlation between rising temperatures and species extinction rates.
Use heatmaps to visualize biodiversity loss.
5️⃣Model Building & Prediction
Random Forest Regression: Predict impact of temperature rise on specific species.
Deep Learning (CNNs): Identify deforestation patterns from satellite images.
Time-Series Analysis (LSTM): Predict biodiversity loss over the next 50 years.
6️⃣Deployment & Monitoring
Interactive SDG Dashboard showing biodiversity risks.
Early warning system for conservation organizations.
