Managed relocation (MR) has rapidly emerged as a potential intervention strategy in the toolbox of biodiversity management under climate change. Previous authors have suggested that MR (also referred to assisted colonization, migration, or translocation) could be last-alternative option after interrogating linear decision tree. We argue numerous interacting and value-laden considerations demand more inclusive for evaluating MR. The pace modern change demands making with imperfect...
Managed relocation is defined as the movement of species, populations, or genotypes to places outside areas their historical distributions maintain biological diversity ecosystem functioning with changing climate. It has been claimed that a major extinction event under way and climate change increasing its severity. Projections indicating may drive substantial losses biodiversity have compelled some scientists suggest traditional management strategies are insufficient. The managed species...
Summary 1. Collaborative adaptive management (CAM) is regularly touted as the best way to handle natural resource in face of uncertainty, change and conflict. Successful applications CAM have, however, been elusive practice. 2. This article examines Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (AMP) United States, other efforts, illustrate why how procedural shortcomings may lead failures reflect on they be overcome. 3. Synthesis applications. To increase chance success, efforts should set...
The speed and uncertainty of environmental change in the Anthropocene challenge capacity coevolving social–ecological–technological systems (SETs) to adapt or transform these changes. Formal government legal structures further constrain adaptive our SETs. However, new, self-organized forms governance are emerging at multiple scales natural resource-based Adaptive involves private public sectors as well formal informal institutions, fill gaps traditional roles states. While new emerging, they...
Over the last two decades, natural resource scientists, managers, and policymakers have increasingly endorsed “adaptive management” of land resources. Indeed, this approach, based on adaptive implementation management pollution control laws, is now mandated in a variety contexts at federal state level. Yet confusion remains over meaning management, disagreement persists its usefulness or feasibility specific contexts.
Climate change has induced an ecological crisis necessitating reconsideration of how the law should manage human interactions with systems. In most Western legal regimes, conservation policy principally sought to advance historical or natural preservation sustained yield objectives, while many laws governing biotechnologies focus on minimising exposure 'natural' Meanwhile, public processes are largely built a framework that assumes comprehensive rationality at front end decision-making....
Crime prevention is a major goal of law-enforcement agencies. Often, these agencies have limited resources and officers available for patrolling responding to calls. However, police visibility can influence individuals not perform criminal acts. Therefore, it necessary the optimize their strategies deter most crime. Previous studies created agent-based models simulate agents interacting in city, indicating “cops on dots” strategy as viable method mitigate large amounts Unfortunately,...
The Trump Administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a stark reminder that poorly designed government can be matter of life and death. This article explains how careless delayed crisis was made immeasurably worse by its confused confusing reallocation authority perform or supervise tasks essential reducing virus’s ravages. After exploring rationale for impact prior federal reorganizations responding public health crises, shows combination unnecessary unhelpful overlapping...
This Article considers how prominent goals of natural resources law and the prevailing model regulatory decision making combine to limit capacity governance manage effects climate change. The explores implications continuing rely on conventionally static fragmented making, passive management, historical preservation when global climatic shifts are widely expected lead rapid changes in ecological systems that unforeseen, novel, potentially detrimental diversity function. emphasis management...
