Climate actions

Establish and expand reserves

Objective

Establish and expand reserves or networks of reserves to link habitats and protect key communities.

Description

Choosing areas to establish reserves, traditionally defined as natural areas with little to no harvest activity, that do not exclude fire management or other natural disturbance processes. Placing reserves adjacent to each other to form a network of a few large reserves, or many small reserves along a latitudinal gradient, or a combination of large and small reserves close to each other, will help maintain connectivity across a varied and dynamic landscape.

Expected results

Flexibility in silvicultural treatments of adjacent lands, promoted species movement, and core areas more protected from disturbance.

Result indicators

Number of plant and animal species protected.

Involved actors

Governments, international/national/regional/local donors, natural experts, communities.

Expected timeline for action

  • Short term (1-4 years)
  • Medium term (5-10 years)
  • Long term (> 10 years)

Criticalities

Vulnerability of plant and animal species.
