Fine‐ and coarse‐filter conservation strategies in a time of climate change

摘要: As species adapt to a changing climate, so too must humans new conservation landscape. Classical frameworks have distinguished between fine- and coarse-filter strategies, focusing on conserving either the or landscapes, respectively, that together define extant biodiversity. Adapting this framework for climate change, conservationists are using fine-filter strategies assess vulnerability prioritize most vulnerable actions. Coarse-filter seek conserve key sites as determined by natural elements unaffected with low velocity expected be refugia climate-displaced species. Novel approaches combine coarse- fine-scale approaches--for example, prioritizing within pretargeted landscapes--and accommodate difficult reality of multiple interacting stressors. By taking diversified approach actions decisions, can hedge against uncertainty, take advantage methods information, tailor unique needs limitations places, thereby ensuring biodiversity show will go on.
