Our climate is changing and this could potentially damage the delicate relationship between our environment and its wildlife. Come and learn how local scientists are investigating the resilience of our indigenous creatures to changing temperatures; just how adaptable are Norfolk’s wild creatures, and what impact will we have on Norfolk's ecology?
Time to move: The adaptations animals have made to a changing climate
Dr Aldina Franco
(Research Scientist at the University of East Anglia )
Do you ever find yourself saying ‘I’m sure spring comes earlier and earlier’, or ‘I’m sure the animals around now aren’t the same as when I was young.’ Aldina Franco is here to discuss how animals can change to our warming world through the timing of their key life events and the places where they are distributed. Learn which native species will benefit, which will lose out and what we can expect from invasive species.
Goldilocks and The Three Temperatures
Dr Jeff Price
(Research Scientist at the University of East Anglia)
How will the wildlife of Norfolk fare in a future of changing temperatures? Our expert, Jeff Price, coordinator of the Wallace Initiative, a scheme to make climate data more available where it is needed, is here to guide you through the mysterious world of Norfolk’s wildlife’s future. Just how adaptable are Norfolk’s wild creatures, and what impact will humans have on our local ecology?
