Question
Consider the impacts that climate change may have on species’ ranges. If you were trying to preserve an endangered mammal that occurs in a small area and you had generous funding to acquire land to help restore its population, how would you design a protected area for it? Would you use corridors? Would you include a diversity of elevations? Would you design few large reserves or many small ones? Explain your answers.
