|a Low-elevation islands face threats from sea level rise (SLR) and increased
storm intensity. Evidence of endangered species’ population declines and shifts in
vegetation communities are already underway in the Florida Keys. SLR predictions
indicate large areas of these habitats may be eliminated in the next century. Using
the Florida Keys as a model system, we present a process for evaluating conservation
options for rare and endemic taxa. Considering species characteristics and habitat, we assess central issues that influence conservation options.We contrast traditional and
controversial options for two animal and two plant species giving special emphasis
to perceptions of ecological risk and safety from SLR and suggest courses of action.
Multiple strategies will be required to spread extinction risk and will be effective
for different time periods. Global climate change presents an uncertain, perhaps
no-analog future that will challenge land managers and practitioners to re-evaluate
equilibrium-state-conceived laws and policies not only for these taxa, but for many
facing similar threats. To embrace conservation in a changing world will require a
new dialogue that includes controversial ideas, a review of existing laws and policies,
and preparation for the oncoming change. |
