I agree completely.
I would only add one additional layer with respect to nature-based adaptation strategies—namely, while some level of climate change is now considered inevitable, we do have the ability to regulate other stressors on the land base. Whatever type of federal or provincial approval we're talking about, whatever type of proactive land-use planning or cumulative effects assessment we're talking about, we have the ability to reduce other stresses from human activities, from resource development. We need to be taking that precautionary approach when we look at the elements of a national conservation plan.
We need to be protecting more and protecting it smarter.
