Thank you for that question.
I think addressing climate change has to come on two fronts. One is mitigation, trying to slow down the process of climate change through a control of carbon. I think there should be strong language, because we really don't know what that road will look like down the way. We really need to do everything we can to put the brakes on that. I think an element in the national conservation plan that addresses mitigation is really important.
The second component is adaptation, to design our conservation strategies—and we've all talked about this—in a way that will allow animals, plants, and the organisms that we care about to adapt to a changing environment. We need to have that latitudinal and altitudinal connectivity and porosity that allows them to adapt so that we don't see extinctions over time of the species we care about because of climate change.
So really, my focus would be around adaptation and mitigation.
