Species are struggling to adapt to rapidly changing environments from "summary" of The 6th Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert
In the face of rapid environmental changes, many species are finding it increasingly difficult to adapt. The world as we know it is undergoing a transformation, brought about by human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change. These disruptions are pushing many organisms to their limits, forcing them to either adapt or face extinction. One of the main challenges that species face in adapting to changing environments is the pace at which these changes are occurring. Evolution, the process by which species gradually change over time in response to their environment, typically operates over long periods. However, the current rate of environmental change is far outpacing the ability of most species to keep up. This mismatch in timing is leading to what scientists refer to as a "biodiversity crisis." In the past, species have been able to survive environmental changes by...
