Abstract
This guidance promotes shared principles for adapting land management in an uncertain future of climate change in order to ensure a world where nature and people thrive.
The document is intended to guide action by TNC land managers on the most important resilient sites under TNC management and define and outline what improved management means in the context of climate-resilient lands. It is important to define and outline climate-informed strategies for land management and ecological protection and/or restoration of the resilient and connected network. Stewardship staff should be working with Protection staff to identify lands that contribute to resilience at the preserve scale.
