Summary

Summary (from Final Report): As the climate continues to change, vulnerable wildlife species will need specific management strategies to help them adapt. One strategy is based on the idea that some locations that species inhabit today will remain suitable over time. These locations are called climate refugia. However, other locations may become too hot, dry or wet for a species to continue to inhabit, and may eventually become unsuitable for the species. When wildlife managers are considering protecting land for vulnerable species, they sometimes prioritize locations that are predicted to be climate refugia. Rarely can those managers consider how accessible refugia locations are to these species. Some species are often unable to move [...]
