Conservation planning in a changing world
189
2 What are the key principles for designing robust
protected area systems in the light of anticipated 21st
century climate change?
3 What can palaeoecology contribute to designing
dynamic reserve networks?
4 How should conservation scientists go about modelling changing land use patterns in planning conservation area networks today?
5 Should we expect species ranges to collapse towards
the core or the periphery of the range as a result of
21st century anthropogenic change?
6 What are the key problems in predicting extinctions
as a result of climate change and how may we solve
them?
7 What kind of future socio - economic changes might
we expect, and how will they impact on conservation
strategies?
