"Climate and Conservation" presents case studies from around the
world of leading-edge projects focused on climate change adaptation
- regional-scale endeavours 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 19 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 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
recognising 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.
