Climate Change Projects
The long term goal of some projects is to investigate the effects of climate change on biodiversity and the subsequent implications of climate change upon protected areas. Projects usually address four important questions in order to safeguard the future economically and biologically important natural heritage:
- What effect is global warming having on the biodiversity within systems of protected areas?
- What future effect is global warming likely to have on the biodiversity within systems of protected areas?
- Is there adequate existing connectivity between habitat blocks, and within the Mesoamerican hotspot as a whole, to allow ecosystem migration?
- What conservation efforts can and need to be put in place to ensure the continued existence, where possible, of the ecosystems which typify the natural habitats?
