The type of environment that would tend to reduce genetic variation in a population because of evolution by natural selection is "grasslands that are undergoing severe drought."
In such an environment, only individuals with traits that allow them to survive the drought conditions would be favored, potentially leading to a decrease in genetic variation as those less suited to the environment fail to reproduce effectively.
