Using Participatory Scenario Simulation to Plan for Conservation Under Climate Change in the Greater Everglades Landscape

摘要: Because changing climate is expected to shift the distribution of suitable areas for many species, it poses a substantial challenge conventional conservation planning approaches which rely on establishment fixed protected areas. Over next decades, change will also cause changes in human settlement patterns and demands various ecosystem services. New methods are needed deal with these complex phenomena. We believe that participatory spatial simulation have much offer under such circumstances, since they address both institutional technical needs. From an point view, exercises engage relevant stakeholders across agencies administrative jurisdictions. simulations performed provide actionable information, help prioritize potential actions generate landscape-scale strategies. This chapter presents case study applying approach challenges Greater Florida Everglades.
