Climate and Conservation presents case studies from around the world of
leading-edge projects focused on climate change
adaptation-regional-scale endeavors where scientists, managers, and
practitioners are working to protect biodiversity by protecting
landscapes and seascapes in response to threats posed by climate
change. The book begins with an introductory section that frames the
issues and takes a systematic look at planning for climate change
adaptation. The nineteen chapters that follow examine particular case
studies in every part of the world, including landscapes and seascapes
from equatorial, temperate, montane, polar, and marine and freshwater
regions. Projects profiled range from North American grasslands to
boreal forests to coral reefs to Alpine freshwater environments.
Chapter authors have extensive experience in their respective regions
and are actively engaged in working on climate-related issues. The
result is a collection of geographical case studies that allows for
effective cross-comparison while at the same time recognizing the
uniqueness of each situation and locale. Climate and Conservation
offers readers tangible, place-based examples of projects designed to
protect large landscapes as a means of conserving biodiversity in the
face of the looming threat of global climate change. It informs readers
of how a diverse set of conservation actors have been responding to
climate change at a scale that matches the problem, and is an essential
contribution for anyone involved with large-scale biodiversity
conservation.
