Scientific seminar-lecture: “The Interconnections between Global Warming and the Decline of Earth's Biodiversity”

Objective: To study the impact of climate change on Earth’s biodiversity and to raise awareness of the importance of ecosystem conservation.

1.        Study the interconnections between climate change and biodiversity

2.        Education in accordance with SDG 15: Life on Land

3.        Explain to students the importance of maintaining ecosystem stability and understanding climate risks

On March 19, 2026, at 12:00 PM, in room 524, the faculty members of the Department of Biotechnology — Akmukhanova N.R., Kirbayeva D.K., Sadvakassova A.K., and Sarsekeyeva F.K. — conducted a scientific seminar for 2rd-year students of the educational program “06B05103 – Biotechnology” on the topic: “The Interconnections between Global Warming and the Decline of Earth's Biodiversity.”

The event was organized in accordance with the Roadmap of the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology under SDG 15 “Life on Land.”

Objective: To study the impact of climate change on Earth’s biodiversity and to develop an understanding of the importance of ecosystem conservation.

The opening remarks were delivered by Akmukhanova N.R., who presented current trends in global warming, the causes of biodiversity loss, and the role of humans in maintaining ecosystem stability.

During the event, students presented reports on the following topics:

ü  The impact of global warming on terrestrial flora and fauna;

ü  Examples of endangered ecosystems and rare species of plants and animals;

ü  Mechanisms of organism adaptation to climate change;

ü  Practical measures for conserving biodiversity in local ecosystems;

ü  The contribution of scientific research and technologies to ecosystem monitoring and protection.

Following the presentations, an active discussion took place, during which students explored opportunities for youth participation in biodiversity conservation projects, the implementation of sustainable management practices, and practical strategies for ecosystem adaptation to climate change.

The event enabled students not only to expand their knowledge of global warming and biodiversity issues but also to develop skills in critical analysis, scientific discussion, and the practical application of knowledge to address environmental challenges.
