Dr Andrew Blackmore, A/Prof Arie Trouwborst Climate change will increasingly impact species and habitat composition of protected areas, even if precise impacts are difficult to predict, especially in smaller areas. This raises questions for management authorities not only regarding ecological protected area integrity, but also regarding damage-causing wildlife. The latter’s complexity is highlighted by the…

A/Prof Arie Trouwborst1, Dr Andrew Blackmore2 1Tilburg University, Tilburg, Netherlands, 2Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, , South Africa Predators occupy important but vulnerable positions in ecosystems and face a broad range of (often overlapping) scenarios as a consequence of climate change, including: shrinking and disrupted habitat (e.g., polar bear, wolverine); range shifts, both upslope (e.g., snow leopard)…

Dr Phillipa Mccormack1 1Faculty of Law, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia, 2Centre for Marine Socioecology, Hobart, Australia The effect of 1°C of global warming is already apparent on terrestrial, freshwater and marine biodiversity all over the world. In its latest report, the IPCC has described the implications of an additional 0.5 or 1°C of warming…

Mr Mitchell Lennan1 1Strathclyde Centre For Environmental Law And Governance, Glasgow, United Kingdom This presentation showcases ongoing PhD reseach concerning the issue of fisheries redistribution under climate change. Scientific surveys and fisheries mathematical models tell us ocean warming and acidification is shifting the distribution of many fish species poleward, or into deeper waters. An issue…

Ms Elizabeth Hiroyasu1, Dr. Sarah Anderson1 1Bren School Of Environmental Science & Management, Santa Barbara, United States Invasive species are a major driver of biodiversity loss and can threaten ecosystem integrity (Early et al. 2016; Chapin et al. 2000). As many species shift their ranges under climate change, invasive species are likely to become even…
