Protected Areas Planning for Species on the Move: Lessons from the tropics and marine opportunities.

ByCourtney Glancy

Biodiversity, and threats to biodiversity, will be changing in response to climate change, affecting the context of success for protected areas. Many species’ ranges will move to track suitable conditions with increasing likelihood that they will move outside of the protected areas in which they currently reside. As species shift, ecosystems will fragment, adjust and…
