A national assessment of conservation values (a) and climate-change vulnerability as has been indicated by forward climate velocity (b) to guide conservation strategies (c). The composite map of wildland conservation values was created from mapped indices of ecological integrity, connectivity, and ecosystem and endemic-species representation in protected areas (a). The climate velocity map shows the median multivariate forward velocity among 18 estimates based on nine general circulation models and two relative-concentration pathway scenarios averaged over a 30-year period centered on 2055 (b). We suggest emphasizing diverse conservation strategies based on a simultaneous evaluation of conservation values and climate vulnerability (c).
