The Adaptation for Conservation Targets (ACT) Framework: A tool for incorporating climate change into natural resource management The Adaptation for Conservation Targets (ACT) Framework: A tool for incorporating climate change into natural resource management
As natural resource management agencies and conservation organizations seek guidance on responding to climate change, myriad potential actions and strategies have been proposed for increasing the long-term viability of some attributes of natural systems. Managers need practical tools for selecting among these actions and strategies to develop a tailored management approach for specific...

Incorporating climate change into systematic conservation planning Incorporating climate change into systematic conservation planning
The principles of systematic conservation planning are now widely used by governments and non-government organizations alike to develop biodiversity conservation plans for countries, states, regions, and ecoregions. Many of the species and ecosystems these plans were designed to conserve are now being affected by climate change, and there is a critical need to incorporate new and...
