Lesson details
Lesson outcome
I can explain how climate change could affect the evolution of species and lead to extinctions, and some actions we can take to help prevent the loss of species.
Show transcript
Variation within a species may affect how well different individuals can survive when environmental conditions change
This leads to natural selection, favouring individuals better adapted to survive and reproduce in the new conditions
Climate change could result in natural selection of individuals that are more tolerant of drought and high temperatures
Some species may not evolve quickly enough to keep up with climate change and could become extinct
Humans can use various methods to help protect against species loss due to climate change, e.g. selective breeding
