Diversification of Land Management Goals and Strategies in Response to Climate Change

摘要

Ronald Sandier (2013) asks that we consider the implications of future rapid climate change for conservation strategies and conservation goals. We agree with Sandier's conclusion that rapid ecological change requires rethinking land management goals and strategies. Although we were already convinced of this before reading Sandier's article, he targets his argument at philosophers who may be unaware of the range of land management approaches and at environmental ethicists who resist non-ideal goals and anthropocentric justifications for conservation strategies. We think that recognizing the complexities of management decision-making would further support Sandier's conclusion.
