Reverse Outline- Transforming Conservation

How to continue to save species, ecosystem services, and "wild" ecosystems under current and anticipated global warming.

-Restructuring conservational biology- next challenge.

-unify conservation strategies, targets

-jumps start a new era or conservation

-US changing conservation strategies helps global issues as well because:

-US can serve as a model

-different land management agencies have different goals

-US is a leader in global conservation

-data shows ecological variability on our continent

-cannot hold ourselves to the same standard of conservation

-species change with climate, we have to change expectations

-help species adapt

-standards for land managers about ecosystem properties

-more about genus than species

-deviations from expectations would indicate need for action

-relocation may be necessary

-difficult because may create big, human managed gardens and zoos, no more wild.

-create two sorts of nature reserves

-species reserves

-goal is saving species, bring in endangered for relocation to help them.

-wildlife reserves

- mimic ecological processes; put them in situations where they will succeed

-initiate action now, given the rapid rate our globe is changing.
