What should protected areas managers do in the face of climate change?
Canada
This paper summarizes impact of past, current, and future climate change and how managers should approach protecting land and adaptive management to promote sustainable and resilient habitats. The author uses examples from Parks Canada to illustrate why and when to adapt, how to adapt, what to do (i.e. goals and actions), and what not to do. Adapting to climate change and protecting natural areas required active involvement and collaboration among scientists, managers, the public, and stakeholders.
