New York and Resiliency
Getting Ahead of Climate Change: Identifying Climate Resilient Places for Wildlife
May 20, 2014

Given uncertainties of climate change, how do we conserve the places that will be
important to wildlife into the future ?
![Page 3: New York and Resiliency](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813a3d550346895da226df/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What will wildlife do as the climate changes?

Goal: Help ensure that the land we protect today will be important for wildlife tomorrow, given the pace and uncertainty of climate change.
Outcomes:
Build the capacity of land trusts and public agencies to respond to climate change.
Demonstrate effective land protection
Advance the practical application of climate science for land conservation

Does not try to predict how the climate will change.
Focuses on enduring features of the landscape.
Complements species-based approaches.

Highly Vulnerable• Limited capacity to adapt• Disrupted function, low diversity• Few options and alternatives
Highly Resilient• Large capacity to adapt• Sustain function and
diversity• Many options and
alternatives
Adapted from M. Anderson
Resilience• Recover from disturbance • Maintain ecosystem function • Remain dynamic and flexible

Help ensure that the land we protect today will be important for wildife tomorrow, given the pace and uncertainty of climate change.
Capital Grants – in selected Northeastern & Mid-Atlantic landscapes and coming to SE this summer.
Catalyst Grants – NH, ME, NY, MA and VT. Coming to SE & Canada this fall. Hopefully mid-Atlantic soon…
