How can Conservation Efforts help species adapt to climate change? - In Review

Event / Environmental Issue

      Conservationists are worried because they believe that we are progressing to fast as a society in climate change and that species aren’t going to be able to progress as good as we will. To see how species are adapting scientists at the University of York have created different expansion techniques that are considered to be “stepping stones” which help expand these species over a large area and giving better quality of living to them. Their goal for these species is to have them expand over different areas where there isn’t as much urbanization making it easier for them to colonize and populate sustain the specie.

Impact on Nature

        They are trying to preserve animal conservation because they cannot keep the amount of animals we have now at this rate. More habitat would be better in the conservation of animals but they aren’t for sure on where the best locations for these animals are, since most areas now are too urbanized. Conservationists are trying to create easier ways to help these species adapt quicker then they are designed too which can be very stressful to animals. 

Impact on People

       These conservations help the animals adapt so that if these species would go extinct it would cause many problems for our own lives. For humans to have a sustainable livelihood, these animal species are greatly needed. The reason each individual specie is needed because of the food chain. If one species is taken out of the cycle another will suffer then i could eventually alter our lives.
