Description:
The Climate Change Conservation Network mapping originated from a process to design regional conservation plans resilient to climate change for the East Kootenay. The initial areas were identified as part of the Forest Stewardship Council Certification (FSC) of forest management in that area, and included public advisory teams from Fernie to Golden. The climate change analysis and resulting conservation map emphasizes areas identified for connectivity to enhance opportunities for ecosystems and species to shift ranges in response to climate change, and should be considered a “work-in-progress”.
