- Title
Conservation and Climate Change: the Challenges Ahead.
- Authors
ROOT, TERRY L.; SCHNEIDER, STEPHEN H.
- Abstract
The article discusses issues concerning the challenges in conservation biology and climate change. The authors believe that conservation biologists not only need to anticipate the phenology and movements of individual species in response to climate change but must also project potential changes to biological communities. The disruption of competitive or predator-prey interaction could jeopardize sustainability of ecosystem services which could lead to numerous extinctions. This is the most important challenges for conservation biologists as extensive land use and rapid climate changes are likely to accelerate.
