Climate change poses a significant challenge to global environmental sustainability, including in Kalimantan, which boasts extraordinary biodiversity. This study aims to examine the impact of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystem resilience in Kalimantan using a descriptive qualitative approach and case studies in conservation areas such as Sebangau National Park and Wehea. The findings reveal that rising temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns have led to habitat degradation, disruption of ecological cycles, and declining populations of endemic species such as orangutans and proboscis monkeys. Ecosystem resilience has also weakened due to the combined pressures of climate change and human activities like deforestation and land conversion. Weaknesses in monitoring systems, low local community participation, and poor enforcement of laws exacerbate this situation. This study recommends strengthening environmental research, empowering indigenous communities, and reforming policies as strategic solutions. These findings are expected to form the basis for designing sustainable conservation and climate adaptation policies in Kalimantan.
