Spatial Planning of area-based conservation for climate change: Terrestrial and Marine perspectives

ByCourtney Glancy

Lee Hannah, Patrick Roehrdanz Species on the Move (SOTM)  present unique challenges for protected areas and other area-based conservation efforts that are fixed in space.  Nearly a decade of research now shows that area-based conservation deployed in the right places can minimize extinctions due to SOTM.  But multiple methods of planning conservation for SOTM have…

The costs of poor range shift detections – how can we sharpen our lens?

ByCourtney Glancy

Jennifer Sunday Department of Biology, McGill University   Detecting range shifts requires repeated surveys across space and long durations of time. As such, our key datasets have been opportunistic, often coarse in spatial and temporal grain, and difficult to synthesize coherently. Yet the promise of range shift detections remains that systematic observations at high spatial…

Climate Change Impacts on Protected Area Boundaries: A Speculative Analysis Using African Wild Dogs as a Case Study

ByCourtney Glancy

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…
