3. The Solution
Over the next four years BC needs to set the stage for the legal designation of an interconnected climate conservation network, if we want to give species, their habitats and ultimately ourselves the best change in the face of climate change. The provincial government can do so by working collaboratively with conservation groups to integrate nature strategies into its climate action plan, to conduct science-based mapping of priority conservation areas for climate mitigation and adaptation, and by developing new legal designations and tenures to augment its toolbox for nature conservation in a climate change era.
