The frequency of natural disasters in Honduras, such as floods, mudslides, tropical storms and hurricanes, is expected to increase as climate change intensifies.
Sanitation and food access is a major issue that is increasing due to climate change, as well as the loss of habitats for several endangered organisms.
[8] This organism was found to rely most on the width of the river, mud substrate, and depth of the water, which can all be affected by the quickly changing climate.
A study on the sustainability of the chortiheros wesseli, published by Scientific Reports, estimates that a less suitable habitat for these organisms will most likely be a result of climate change.
[9] Additionally, natural disasters are common in Latin and Central America, so these have taken a huge toll on the shelters and lifestyles of those living in Honduras.
