Although no one knows the ultimate effects of climate change on … ecosystems, scientists know enough … to proceed with
adaptation… And while many previous studies have focused on minimizing detriments to single species of economic
importance, future efforts should shift to preserving ecosystems and their capacity to adapt. Indeed, a wide variety of holes
exist in scientists’ knowledge about when —and how — ecosystems will respond to climate change. While many studies have
assessed the individual effects of (warming), … the combined effects of multiple stressors are largely unknown. Looking to
save ecosystems by preserving a single species of importance probably won’t work … Such a “California condor” approach – a
massive effort dedicated to preserving just one, usually charismatic species – ignores the fact that ecosystems are finely-tuned
biological networks composed of numerous interacting species. A far better approach than saving a few keystone species would
be to preserve an entire ecosystem’s ability to adapt. While long-term efforts to mitigate climate change might address carbon
dioxide emissions, the root cause of climate change, in the short term people can preserve the ocean’s biodiversity at local
levels by reducing overfishing, nutrient runoff and pollution.
