The lecture series at Bonn University began on Monday with a talk on biodiversity and protected areas in climate change. The panel consisting of two men and four women included IUCN’s Ali Raza Rizvi. The difficulties of modeling sea level rise and other climate change effects was addressed, leading to a discussion over the balance between directing resources towards improved modeling techniques and implementing solutions immediately. Protected areas are an important but sometimes antiquated form of environmental protection, and as climate change triggers changes in flora and fauna the need to adjust these areas accordingly arises. Only half of protected areas have management plans and only half of those plans are implemented, a discrepancy which needs to be at the forefront of rethinking protected area objectives. Other topics discussed included adjusting protecting areas as target species migrate with climate change, focusing on the connectivity between protected areas, especially in marine environments, and the relationships between national parks and nearby communities.
