A SIGMET, or Significant Meteorological Information, is specifically designed to alert pilots to significant weather conditions that can affect the safety of flight operations. This includes phenomena such as severe turbulence, thunderstorms, icing, and volcanic ash, which can pose substantial hazards to aircraft during operation. By providing timely and detailed information about these conditions, SIGMETs enable pilots to make informed decisions regarding their flight paths and ensure safety in the skies.

The other options do not align with the purpose of a SIGMET. While changes in altitude, wildlife concerns, and maintenance alerts are important for safe aviation operations, they fall under different categories of aviation alerts or notices, such as NOTAMs or other operational safety protocols, and do not directly relate to significant meteorological conditions affecting flight safety.
