The pervasive and accelerating impacts of climate change on ecosystems and species are making it increasingly difficult for natural resource managers to determine how and where to use limited staff time and funding for conservation. The identification and management of climate change refugia, areas relatively buffered from contemporary climate change, is one climate adaptation strategy. We held remote workshops, meetings, and webinars with partners and stakeholders to develop regional lists of natural resource priorities in the northeastern and southwestern United States. In the Northeast, we developed maps of habitat suitability gain and loss and climate change refugia for 9 species (including 4 plants, 2 birds,...
Abstract (from Conservation Science and Practice): Climate change uncertainty poses serious challenges to conservation efforts. One emerging conservation strategy is to identify and conserve climate change refugia: areas relatively buffered from contemporary climate change that enable persistence of valued resources. This management paradigm may be pursued at broad scales by leveraging existing resources and placing them into a tangible framework to stimulate further collaboration that fosters management decision-making. Here, we describe a framework for moving toward operationalizing climate change refugia conservation at an ecoregion scale with an analysis for the Sierra Nevada ecoregion (CA, USA). Structured...
