Download or read book The Vulnerability of Provincially Rare Species species at Risk to Climate Change in the Lake Simcoe Watershed Ontario Canada written by Samuel R. Brinker and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certain species considered provincially rare in the Lake Simcoe watershed including some listed as threatened or endangered under Ontario's Endangered Species Act (Statutes of Ontario 2007), may be at risk of extirpation due to adverse effects of natural and/or anthropogenic stressors. Climate change, acting alone or in combination with other stressors, may pose an important emerging threat for many of these species. Several tools to assess climate change effects are being developed for use by resource managers to categorize the relative vulnerability of selected species to climate change. In response to the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, Ontario's Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan: 2011-2014, and the Ministry of Natural Resources' Climate Change Strategy, vulnerability assessments have been completed for selected natural assests in the Lake Simcoe watershed. By testing the model against a subset of high priority provincially rare species found within the Lake Simcoe watershed the authors objectives were to: categorize the relative vulnerability of each species; identify species-level indicators that are useful for assessing vulnerability to climate change; identify the key factors causing species vulnerability.--Document.

These 12 major areas of risk are: agriculture and food, coastal communities, ecosystems, fisheries, forestry, geopolitical dynamics, governance and capacity, human health and wellness, Indigenous ways of life, northern communities, physical infrastructure, and water. The report describes an approach to inform federal risk prioritization and adaptation responses. The Panel outlines a multi-layered method of prioritizing adaptation measures based on an understanding of the risk, adaptation potential, and federal roles and responsibilities.

The main body of the book deals first with laws aimed directly at protecting the environment from pollution in specific areas such as air, water, waste, soil, noise, and radiation. Then, a section on nature and conservation management covers protection of natural and cultural resources such as monuments, landscapes, parks and reserves, wildlife, agriculture, forests, fish, subsoil, and minerals. Further treatment includes the application of zoning and land-use planning, rules on liability, and administrative and judicial remedies to environmental issues. There is also an analysis of the impact of international and regional legislation and treaties on environmental regulation. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for environmental lawyers handling cases affecting Canada. Academics and researchers, as well as business investors and the various international organizations in the field, will welcome this very useful guide, and will appreciate its value in the study of comparative environmental law and policy.
