Evidence over the last decade has shown that ecological change in response to climate change is unavoidable, widespread and substantial. Our ability to manage biodiversity through these changes depends on understanding what the nature of the change might be and where the potential for future persistence of biodiversity may be greatest.
To support the development of this understanding, we suggest a new way to view the magnitude, extent and type of changes in biodiversity. We also provide examples of how this information can be used to support specific tasks in planning. We hope this will encourage planners to develop their own approaches to biodiversity planning through these practical suggestions.
