    Protected areas are critical for conserving biodiversity and allowing species to adapt to climate change. The document discusses how the world has committed to protecting 17% of land and 10% of marine areas in connected networks that are effectively managed. These protected area networks allow species movement across landscapes as ecosystems change and are the largest change in land management history. The networks provide solutions by allowing natural adaptation and maintaining populations. However, roads fragment habitats so mitigation is needed. Protected areas must also respect people through equitable governance.

    Hope for a Protected Planet

    Target 11: The world has decided to protect 17% of land and 10% marine

    in systems of protected areas that are


    conserving areas important for biodiversity and ecosystem services ecologically representative and well connected effectively and equitably managed including other effective area- based conservation measures integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes

    Protected areas ... conserving nature

    Las reas protegidas ... conservan la natura

    The world is doing quite well....

    ...and protected areas work!

    .... and they must continue to work when faced by global climate change

    The problem is about connectivity... no place to hide, nowhere to go

    Roadlessness in Canada

    Animal and plant populations have to be maintained in a rapidly changing environment


    Changes in 4 key rates of population biology: birth, death, immigration, emigration How can we best influence these rates to allow the ecosystem components (species) to best adapt? Communities are going to change The Solution: large populations, connected populations

    Climate change adaptation options


    A. Do nothing adapt to only human needs B. Intensive ecosystem management move species, mobile reserves, population management C. Use natural solutions to provide the best chance for biodiversity and for people

    Protected areas .... offering solutions

    Las reas protegidas ... ofrecen soluciones

    The no-regrets option: conservation networks


    Create the best chance for biodiversity to adapt and accommodate Involves comprehensive landscape planning Allows species sorting, movement that is slow and fast, covers the changing range of ecosystems Enormous social benefits

    A simple solution conservation networks
