Climate Change & its Impacts on Species
Changes in climatic conditions can impact wildlife in many ways: for example it can reduce (or increase) breeding success; it can modify individuals’ energetic costs; it can alter food availability. There are four ways in which a species can respond to changes in environmental conditions:
1. Thrive: the species is capable of living under the new set of conditions as it is.
2. Adapt: the species is capable of surviving changes in conditions by changing its ecology.
3. Move: the species’ distribution range will contract or shift to remain under suitable conditions.
4. Go extinct (locally or globally): the species is not capable of surviving changing conditions, nor adapting nor moving.
