X can survive Y, as long as Z doesn't occur (/Z). Thus, the reason why /X is obtaining isn't because of Y, but because Z is occurring.

Species (X) can survive environmental change (Y), as long as it's not too rapid (/Z). Thus, the threat to survival (/X) is not because of change itself (Y), but because it is too rapid (Z IS occurring).
