We developed a hybrid approach to climate-adaptive conservation landscape planning for snow leopards in the Himalayan Mountains.
In this review we found only a small number of area-specific studies indicating that there is, as of yet, little model-based research into climate-adaptive conservation and management options at the small scale of individual protected areas.
In addition to serving as another rallying cry to reduce carbon emissions and repower America with clean, efficient energy, this disturbing finding added new urgency to "adaptive management" conservation planning.
We suggest ways for designing more effective and adaptive environmental conservation programmes to foster adoption and continuation of social-ecological innovations.
We use Values Beliefs Norms theory to construct multivariate models of the relationship between ground water irrigators' interpretations of climate change risks and their implementation of adaptive water conservation practices.
The study was part of the cooperative graduate program "Adaptive nature conservation under climate change" at the Potsdam University and Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (funded by Potsdam University, Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development and the Brandenburg Ministry of Science, Research and Culture and by the European Social Fund).
In the next section of this article we will consider the observation that known "thrifty" genes, associated with adaptive energy conservation, show this same geographical pattern, strengthening the association between AD and metabolic thriftiness.
Following the unified species concept [ 25], these authors described a framework for adaptive evolutionary conservation that recognizes the situational strengths and weaknesses of each ESU definition and integrates them to define biologically meaningful ESUs anywhere along the evolutionary continuum [ 7].
The quantification of stream connectivity and vulnerability of organisms to thermal changes in river systems are important decision making tools for effective adaptive and holistic conservation planning strategies.
Significant differences of approach in the two traditions were resolved in the late 1990s through the formulation of a consensus framework for the design and adaptive management of conservation area networks.
In the proposed TLBO-MA, an adaptive teaching factor, conservation of information inspired operator and multi-meme learning are incorporated to enhance the searching behavior of standard TLBO.
