Approach
Identify species where phenology mismatches are relevant, identify areas where there is minimal phenology difference currently and into the future, prioritize those areas for protection, and manage for habitat resilience.
Tactics
- Maximize habitat quality and availability so the population is more resilient, which may help minimize impact of phenology mismatch.
- In areas that remain matched, prioritize those areas for protection.
- Identify areas that will become matched in the future and maintain and promote connectivity so animals can migrate to the new habitats, and consider facilitated migration where appropriate.
