in systems of protected areas that are

conserving areas important for biodiversity

and ecosystem services

ecologically representative and well connected

effectively and equitably managed

including other effective area- based

conservation measures

integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes

Changes in 4 key rates of population biology: birth,

death, immigration, emigration

How can we best influence these rates to allow theecosystem components (species) to best adapt?

Communities are going to change

The Solution:

large populations, connected populations

Animal and plant populations have to bemaintained in a rapidly changingenvironment

Climate change adaptation options

A. Do nothing adapt to only human needs

B. Intensive ecosystem management move

species, mobile reserves, population

C. Use natural solutions to provide the best

chance for biodiversity and for people

The no-regrets option: conservation

networks

Create the best chance for biodiversity to

adapt and accommodate

Involves comprehensive landscape planning Allows species sorting, movement that is

slow and fast, covers the changing range of

ecosystems Enormous social benefits
