What can wildlife managers do now to assist wildlife to adapt to the impacts of climate change?
Wildlife managers can start by acknowledging that the climate is changing and recognizing that management decisions must be adaptable. Baseline data can be collected and monitoring of species and habitats should provide timely feedback. The landscape can be managed for wildlife resiliency, which requires wildlife managers to be involved in local land-use planning. Landscape corridors should be created and maintained.
