- Climate change is bringing rising temperatures, droughts and shifting patterns of rainfall - can animals adapt to keep pace?

There is evidence that bird’s bodies are growing smaller, their wingspan longer, lizards are growing larger thumb pads to help them grip more tightly in hurricane strength winds and beak size is changing.
We visit the Galapagos, where evolution was first discovered by Charles Darwin, and investigate the many ways animals are adapting their behaviour and physiology to survive the impact of climate change. Changes to climate are also influencing animals’ genetics, meaning that we are seeing species evolve within our own lifetime.
However, most animals won’t be able to adapt quickly enough to cope with the speed they need to in order to survive in a warming world.

In a society that sees itself as modest, traditional and deeply religious, many refuse to believe in anything other than heterosexuality.
