“…Despite these problems, the carbon-credit market was stabilized as of 2007 and is not expected to collapse any further (Haag, 2007). The next few years represent a unique opportunity (perhaps the last) to maintain the resilience of biodiversity and ecosystem services (Malhi et al, 2008;García-Montero et al, 2010;Hagerman et al, 2010).…”

“…Among the ethical issues is the question of which species are worthy of conservation through relocation. As distasteful as it is, rules for species triage need to be developed (Bottrill et al 2008;Hagerman et al 2010). …”

“…With severe climate change, triage may be unavoidable; for example, some vegetation types may disappear, regardless of human intervention. Such habitats may need to be triaged as focus shifts from preservation of historic species assemblages to maintaining functioning landscapes and future ecosystem services (Lawler et al 2009, Hagerman et al 2010.…”

Australian conservation scientists, managers and decision makers must come to grips with anthropogenic climate change, imposed upon an already variable regional climate system. Pre- and post-instrumental records and climate proxies indicate that Australia has experienced wet and dry cycles over intra-decadal to millennial time scales. Precipitation variation across Australia is correlated with different climate features but reliable tools for seasonal rainfall prediction are still some years away. Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Models predict a widening of the Hadley circulation and strengthening of the Southern Annular Mode, which should result in reduced cool season rainfall over southern Australia. Shifts in the Australian climate over the Holocene epoch, most notably increased ENSO variability after 5 000 years ago, are associated with substantial vegetation change and indicate the speed at which ecosystems may be altered. The CO2 fertilization of plant biomes may mitigate increasing aridity to some extent but, in general, climate change is expected to negatively affect native vegetation and agricultural productivity. Sea-level rise is predicted to be substantial over this century and, when coupled with increased storm intensity, poses threats in the form of erosion, salinization and flooding. The best chance of building adaptable ecosystems and preserving ecosystem services requires the extension, integration and possibly optimization of reserve systems, in concert with improved management of other threatening processes (habitat loss, invasive species, overexploitation, pollution and disease). In addition, a price on carbon dioxide emissions would provide incentives for privately funded reforestation schemes, but additional incentives promoting mixed species over monoculture plantings would be required to assure maximum biodiversity benefits.
