Document Summary
Case study: why canadians" climate concerns don"t always line up with the evidence. Earth is hotter than it has been in any of our lifetimes but canadians are less concerned about climate change than a decade ago. Economic anxieties rank top, climate change still up there. Climate change and conservation to date: only 2 extinctions attributable to climate change: golden toad and harlequin frog. But massive shifts for some species and systems associated with warming. Buffering: the ability to track the changing climate in time and location. Management: anticipate the changes and assist with the buffering. Past emphasis: a focus on local issues (patch size, population size, species) Demands a regional scale strategy for conservation: 1. Reserves that allow for range shifts (corridors, gradients: 2. Reserves that capture population variability individuals are not genetically identical, in their responses to climate or to climate change: 3. Reduce non-climatic stressors that hamper adjustments and movements (ex.
