dc.description.abstractClimate change which has become a global concern has occupied the centre stage of all human discussions today, can be traced back to the advent of massive industrialization in the late 19trh century and early 20th century during which enormous quantities of greenhouse gases were emitted into the atmosphere. This phenomenon has greatly affected the distribution and extinction of species of flora and fauna ecosystems as well as man and his environment. The earth surface is full of a diversity of plants and animals, currently estimated at about 1.8 million. Yet, it is greatly threatened by biodiversity loss, erosion and depletion of genes and the extinction of global species which constitute an important concern to national and international authorities. In this paper, we examined the rationale and regime for the conservation of biodiversity and adaptation strategies for Nigeria in particular and Africa general. The paper also had a deep reflection on the problem of climate change, the value and loss of biodiversity in a bid to proffering sustainable measures to curtail its menace on earth, which is, the only life sustaining planet.en_US
